The photoproduction of 2$\pi^0$ mesons off protons was studied with the Crystal Barrel/TAPS experiment at the electron accelerator ELSA in Bonn. The energy of photons produced in a radiator was tagged in the energy range from 600\,MeV to…

We present covariant predictions of relativistic constituent quark models for pi and eta decay widths of N and Delta resonances. The results are calculated for a model decay operator within the point-form spectator approximation. It is…

Based on the effective Lagrangian approach, the $ J/\psi \to p \bar{p} \phi$ decay is studied in an isobar resonance model with the assumption that the $\phi$-meson is produced from intermediate nucleon resonances. The contributions from…

Delta I=3/2, K to Pi Pi matrix elements are calculated on 68 configurations of quenched 24^3 x 64 lattices using the DBW2 action, and domain wall fermions with L_s=16. The lattice spacing is a^(-1)=1.3 GeV, corresponding to a physical…

I discuss recent results on the electroproduction and photoproduction of mesons in the region of non-strange baryon resonances. Results on the quadrupole transition from the ground state nucleon to the Delta(1232) show the importance of…

It is seen by a coupled-channel calculation that in the two-baryon N-Delta or Delta-Delta system the width of the state is greatly diminished due to the relative kinetic energy of the two baryons, since the internal energy of the particles,…

We extend the 1/N_c meson-baryon scattering formalism to pi N to multi-pi N case. We first show that the leading-order large N_c processes proceed through resonant intermediate states (e.g., rho N or pi Delta). We find that the pole…

We present an ongoing project to assess the importance of D-waves and the $\Delta (1232)$ resonance for descriptions of neutral pion photoproduction in Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. This research has been motivated by data…

An overview of the GW SAID and ITEP groups effort to analyze pion photoproduction on the neutron-target will be given. The disentanglement the isoscalar and isovector EM couplings of N* and Delta* resonances does require compatible data on…

All the time since its discovery the N$^*$(1440) baryon state, commonly known as Roper resonance, has been a state with many question marks - despite of its 4-star ranking in the particle data book. One reason is that it does not produce…

An effective Lagrangian model in a coupled channels framework is applied to extract nucleon resonance parameters. In the K-matrix approximation, we simultaneously analyze all the available data for the transitions from pi N to five possible…

A new partial wave analysis of pion photoproduction has been obtained in the framework of fixed-t dispersion relations valid form threshold up to 500 MeV. It is based on new Mainz data for \pi^{0} and \pi^{+} production off the proton and…

Properties of nucleon and $\Delta$ resonances are derived from a multichannel partial wave analysis. The statistical significance of pion and photo-induced inelastic reactions off protons are studied in a multichannel partial-wave analysis.

The N*(1440) -> N pi pi decay is studied by making use of the chiral reduction formula. This formula suggests a scalar-isoscalar pion-baryon contact interaction which is absent in the recent study of Hern{\'a}ndez et al. The contact…

The use of G-parity boundary conditions to compute Delta I = 1/2, K to pi pi decays is reviewed and a method to consistently treat both the pions and kaon in full QCD proposed. This approach creates a physical, final-state, pion momentum…

We are aiming to study the $J/\psi \to p\bar{p}\eta'$ decay in an isobar model and the effective Lagrangian approach. After a careful exploration of the contributions of the $S_{11}(1535)$, $P_{11}(1710)$, $P_{13}(1900)$, $S_{11}(2090)$ and…

We investigate the one pion decay of the Roper resonance $N^*(1440)$$\to$$N$${\pi}$ in the Sakai-Sugimoto model of the holographic QCD. The nucleon and Roper resonance emerge as ground and first excited states of the collective radial…

In this work, a model for the n p --> d (pi pi) reaction is developed. It is shown that the structure of the deuteron momentum spectra for a neutron beam momentum of 1.46 GeV can be explained as a consequence of the interplay of two…

We have developed a model for the N N --> N N pi pi reaction and evaluated cross sections for the different charged channels. The low energy part of those channels where the pions can be in an isospin zero state is dominated by N*…
