Conclusion and outlook • Neutral meson spectrometer was designed and created in PNPI, it has good angle and energy resolution • Measurements of DCS of –pηn reaction were made with high precision at three momenta 700 , 710 , 720 MeV/c • It is shown that at 700 MeV/c the DCS angular dependence is isotropic, indicating the S-wave character of the -production process • At higher momenta a significant D-wavecontribution has led to the anisotropic angular dependence resulting in bowl-like shape • Further improve our data with kinematical fit • Combined analysis of ηphotoproduction and π-production on protons will improve determination of coupling constants of D13(1520) and S11(1535) resonances • Adding our results to the world database and providing a new PWA solution
