| A chiral constituent quark model approach, embodying {\\it s}- and {\\it u}-channel exchanges,
complemented with a Reggeized treatment for {\\it t}-channel is presented.
A model is obtained allowing data for $\\pi^- p \\to \\eta n$ and
$\\gamma p \\to \\eta p$ to be describe satisfactorily.
For the latter reaction, recently
released data by CLAS and CBELSA/TAPS Collaborations in the system total energy range
$1.6 \\lesssim W \\lesssim 2.8$ GeV are well reproduced due to the inclusion of
Reggeized trajectories instead of simple $\\rho$ and $\\omega$ poles.
Contribution from ``missing\'\' resonances is found to be negligible in the considered
processes. |
