6. Workshop on the Physics of Excited Nucleons, Sept. 5-8, 2007, Bonn, Germany – Alexander Titov 6 Nature of the bump: The large amount of un-natural parity (  meson) exchange can not produce the bump: But this admixture of un-natural parity exchange gives sizable background for possible (real) interference

The model satisfactory unpolarized cross sections and spin observables, which, in particular, indicate to elimination of the un-natural parity exchange processes. 3. Possible explanation of the existence of the bump-like structure in and its absence in reaction may indicate for contribution exotic channel with properties of the scalar – isovector meson exchange. 1. The model describes reasonably and spin observables in reaction in diffraction region at finite |t |, but it fails in description of the bump-like behavior of at
