The reaction $\pi N\to \pi \pi N$ above threshold in chiral perturbation theory

Abstract

Single pion production off nucleons is studied in the framework of relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory at tree level with the inclusion of the terms from the dimension two effective pion-nucleon Lagrangian. The five appearing low-energy constants are fixed from pion-nucleon scattering data. Despite the simplicity of the approach, most of the existing data for total and differential cross sections as well as for the angular correlation functions for incoming pion kinetic energies up to 400 MeV can be satisfactorily described.
