The reaction K−n→Σ−η has been studied near threshold. The production angular distribution and the cross-section as a function of energy were measured. The combined angular distributions of this experiment and two previous ones suggest that aJ=1/2 amplitude dominates in Σ−η production. Our cross-section can be fitted with a Σ−1η resonance of mass 1785±12 and width 89±33, or it can be fitted in a zero-effective-range scattering approximation with a scattering length of (0.92±0.12)±i(0.04±0.28) fm.
