We have updated our multipole analyses to incorporate new data from the low-energy and delta resonance regions. We note a slight decrease in our estimate of the delta photo-decay amplitudes. This agrees with results found in Compton…
We reply to the Comment of A.M. Sandorfi et al. [nucl-th/9707028] on the E2/M1 ratio from the Mainz photoproduction data, nucl-th/9707028 v2. We support our published result for the E2/M1 ratio of REM = -(2.5 +- 0.2 +- 0.2)%.
A new partial wave analysis of pion photoproduction has been obtained in the framework of fixed-t dispersion relations valid form threshold up to 500 MeV. It is based on new Mainz data for \pi^{0} and \pi^{+} production off the proton and…
A number of recent multipole analyses from Mainz, RPI, BNL and Virginia Tech (VPI) have focused on the first resonance region. One goal common to these studies was an improved set of Delta(1232) photo-decay amplitudes. There has been…
New data on pion-photoproduction off the proton have been included in the partial wave analyses Bonn-Gatchina and SAID and in the dynamical coupled-channel approach J\"ulich-Bonn. All reproduce the recent new data well: the double…

We have performed a series of global and single-Q2 fits to the growing database for pion electroproduction. We compare to some other recent fits which have used different formalisms, more selective datasets, and truncated multipole…

We have analyzed the $M_{1+}^{(3/2)}$ and $E_{1+}^{(3/2)}$ multipole amplitudes of pion photoproduction in the framework of fixed-$t$ dispersion relations. Applying the speed plot technique to our results for these multipoles, we have…

Within fixed-t dispersion relations the results of new VPI partial-wave analysis for the multipole amplitudes $M_{1+}^{3/2},E_{1+}^{3/2}$ are successfuly described, and the resonance and nonresonance contributions into these amplitudes are…
