The long-standing debate over whether the complete set of observables in pseudo-scalar meson photoproduction consists of eight or merely four elements continues to persist. From the perspective of amplitude analysis, it is argued that all…
Even if a `complete set' of experimental observables were measured for the elastic scattering or photo/electroproduction of pseudoscalar mesons, ambiguities would remain in the extracted partial-wave and isospin decomposed amplitudes. As…
