QCD-based scaling arguments predict the predominance of longitudinal over transverse electroproduction of pions by terms $\propto Q^2$. However, data from JLAB, Cornell and DESY, covering a wide kinematical range $1 < Q^2 < 11\, {\rm…
We consider pion electroproduction close to threshold for $Q^2$ in the region 1-10 GeV$^2$ on a nucleon target. The momentum transfer dependence of the S-wave multipoles at threshold, $E_{0+}$ and $L_{0+}$, is calculated in the chiral limit…
We derive novel low--energy theorems for single pion production off nucleons through the isovector axial current. We find that the $k^2$-dependence of the multipole $L_{0+}^{(+)}$ at threshold is given by the nucleon scalar form factor,…

We present novel low--energy theorems for the P--wave multipoles $2M_{1+} + M_{1-}$, $M_{1+} -M_{1-}$, $E_{1+}$ and $L_{1\pm}$ for neutral pion electroproduction off protons. These should be very useful for the analysis of existing or…
Electroproduction of neutral pions in exclusive reaction $p(e,e'\pi^0)p$ is studied above the resonance region, $\sqrt{s}>2$ GeV. The reaction amplitude is described by exchanges of vector $\omega(782)$, $\rho(770)$ and axial-vector…
We study the incoherent neutrinoproduction of photons and pions with neutrino energy E_{\nu} $\leqslant$ 0.5 GeV. These processes are relevant to the background analysis in neutrino-oscillation experiments, for example MiniBooNE [A. A.…
Methods used in the multipole analysis of low-energy pion-photoproduction data have been tested against the database of kaon-photoproduction measurements. Results for some multipoles are in qualitative agreement with existing…
