Dynamical Coupled-Channels Model Analysis of π-N Scattering and Electromagnetic Pion Production Reactions

Abstract

The ability of the coupled-channels model (MSL) developed in recently in Ref. \cite{msl} to account simultaneously for the $\pi N$ scattering data and the $\pi$ photoproduction reactions on the nucleon is presented. An accurate description of $\pi N$ scattering has been obtained. A preliminary description of $\pi$ photoproduction is also discussed.
