Compared in this work are a few sets of results, obtained from the pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) data at low energy (pion laboratory kinetic energy up to $100$ MeV) on the basis of the modelling of the $s$- and $p$-wave $K$-matrix elements (or of…

Spectra of p-p and pi-p scattering at beam momenta between 6 and 30 GeV/c have been reanalysed. These show strong excitation of N* resonances, the strongest one corresponding to the "scalar" P11 excitation (breathing mode) at m_o= 1400+-10…
