Polarisation observables are measured with the Crystal Barrel/TAPS experiment at ELSA for photoproduction reactions with various final states, using a circularly or linearly polarised photon beam and a longitudinally or transversely…
At ELSA interesting results on baryon resonances have been obtained by the CB-ELSA, the CBELSA/TAPS and the SAPHIR collaborations. New resonances were found, in particular a new $\rm D_{15}(2070)$ decaying into $p\eta$, was recently…
One of the remaining problems within the standard model is to gain a good understanding of the low energy regime of QCD, where perturbative methods fail. One key towards a better understanding is baryon spectroscopy. Unfortunately, in the…

$\gamma (p,K^0)\Sigma^+$ cross section was measured at the CBELSA/TAPS experiment at the ELSA electron stretcher facility. A cusp-like structure was apparent near the $K^*$ production threshold, where the cross section reduced by a factor…
The CBELSA/TAPS experiment with a longitudinally or transversely polarized target and an energy tagged, linearly or circularly polarized photon beam allows the measurement of a large set of polarization observables. Due to its good energy…
The excitation spectrum of the nucleon consists of several overlapping resonances. To identify these resonances and their contributions to the measured cross sections, a partial wave analysis is used. A set of at least eight, well chosen,…
