Abstract The production ofη-mesons in proton-nucleus reactions is analysed with respect to primary nucleon-nucleon (NN→NNη) and secondary pion-nucleon (πN→ηN) production processes on the basis of Hartree-Fock groundstate momentum distributions and free on-shell production processes. The folding model adopted compares well for meson production with more involved simulations based on VUU transport equations. Similar to K+ production in proton-nucleus reactions theη-mesons are primarily produced by theπN →ηN channel. However,η-mesons are absorbed in nuclei via excitation of the N* (1535) resonance which leads to strong distortions of the primordial spectra. On the other hand, the experimental mass dependence of the differential cross sections might yield information about the in-medium properties of this resonance.
