| dc.description | We reinvestigate the experimental data on $ω$--meson production in pion-nucleon collisions based on both an analytical approach and a Monte Carlo simulation. Our analysis allows us to study the kinematical peculiarities of the $π^-p{\to}ω{n}$ reaction at energies close to threshold. Based on the hypothesis, that the formalism derived in ref. [1] was applied improperly, the unusually strong energy dependence claimed for the near--threshold cross section is identified as a purely kinematical effect. Based on this hypothesis, we deduce an effective ${π^-}p{\to}ωn$ cross section that is larger by an order of magnitude compared to the one commonly used. In addition we extract a lower limit for the imaginary part $\Im a_{ωN}$ of the $ωN$ scattering length. We find a value of $\Im a_{ωN}{=}0.24{\pm}0.05$ fm, which is significantly larger than that presently found in the literature. | |
