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…
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…
