Pion photo- and electroproduction has been studied at threshold and in the resonance region below W=2GeV. At threshold pi^0 production can be very well explained within a dynamical model derived from an effective chiral Lagrangian. The…

We study the photo- and electro-productions of the vector kaon off the proton, i.e., $\gamma^{(*)}p\to K^{*+}\pi^0\Sigma^0$, and investigate the line shape of the $\pi^0\Sigma^0$ invariant mass in an effective Lagrangian approach with the…
