  Rescattering effects in coherent eta photoproduction on the deuteron are
studied in the region of the S_11(1535) resonance. For the elementary reaction
mechanism on the nucleon, an effective isobar model with inclusion of
resonances and Born terms is used. The resonance parameters are fixed by
considering pion photoproduction only. For the coherent eta production on the
deuteron we have considered the impulse approximation taking into account the
P_11(1440), D_13(1520), and S_11(1535) resonances, rescattering, and meson
exchange currents. For the rescattering mechanism a coupled channel model
including the dominant S_11(1535) resonance is used.
