$2π$ production in the Giessen coupled-channel model

We present a coupled-channel Lagrangian approach (GiM) to describe the $πN \to πN$, $2πN$ scattering in the resonance energy region. The $2πN$ production has been significantly improved by using the isobar approximation with $σN$ and $πΔ(1232)$ in the intermediate state. The three-body unitarity is maintained up to interference pattern between the isobar subchannels. The scattering amplitudes are obtained as a solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the $K$ matrix approximation. As a first application we perform a partial wave analysis of the $πN \to πN$, $π^0π^0 N$ reactions in the Roper resonance region. We obtain $R_{σN}(1440)=27^{+4}_{-9}$\,\% and $R_{σN}(1440)=12^{+5}_{-3}$\,\% for the $σN$ and $πΔ$ decay branching ratios of $N^*(1440)$ respectively. The extracted $πN$ inelasticities and reaction amplitudes are consistent with the results from other groups.

Coupled-channel analysis of $KΣ$ production on the nucleon up to 2.0 GeV

A coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model respecting unitary and gauge invariance is applied to the combined analysis of the $(π,γ) N \to KΣ$ reactions for the center of mass energies up to 2 GeV. The recent photoproduction data obtained by the CLAS, CBELSA, LEPS, and GRAAL groups are included into our calculations with the aim to extract the resonance couplings to the $KΣ$ state. Both resonances and background contributions are found to be important to reproduce a correct shape of the angular distributions and polarization observables. Our description to the data is of good quality. The extracted properties of isospin $I = 3/2$ resonances are discussed in detail while the $I = 1/2$ resonances are largely determined by the non-strangeness channels.

Eta-meson production in the resonance energy region

We perform an updated coupled-channel analysis of eta-meson production including all recent photoproduction data on the proton. The dip observed in the differential cross sections at c.m. energies W=1.68 GeV is explained by destructive interference between the $S_{11}(1535)$ and $S_{11}(1560)$ states. The effect from $P_{11}(1710)$ is found to be small but still important to reproduce the correct shape of the differential cross section. For the $π^- N \to ηN$ scattering we suggest a reaction mechanism in terms of the $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1560)$, and $P_{11}(1710)$ states. Our conclusion on the importance of the $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1560)$, and $P_{11}(1710)$ resonances in the eta-production reactions is in line with our previous results. No strong indication for a narrow state with a width of 15 MeV and the mass of 1680 MeV is found in the analysis. $ηN$ scattering length is extracted and discussed.

Spin-5/2 fields in hadron physics

We show that the Lagrangian of the free spin-5/2 field in the spinor-tensor representation with the auxiliary spinor field depends on the three arbitrary parameters. The first two parameters are associated with the spin-3/2 and -1/2 sector of the theory while the latter one is related to the auxiliary degrees of freedom. We derive a corresponding propagator of the system which represents (2 x 2) matrix in the $(ψ_{μν},ξ)$ space. The diagonal terms stand for the propagation of the spin-5/2 and auxiliary fields whereas the non-diagonal ones correspond to the $ψ_{μν}-ξ$ mixing. The resulting spin-5/2 propagator contains non-pole contributions coming from the spin-3/2 and -1/2 sector of the spinor-tensor representation. A general form of the interaction vertex involving spin-5/2 field is discussed on the example of the $πN N^*_{5/2}$ coupling. It is demonstrated that lower spin degrees of freedom can be removed from the theory by using higher order derivative coupling.

On a gauge-invariant interaction of spin-$\fth$ resonances

We show that the gauge-invariant coupling suggested by Pascalutsa removes non-pole terms from a spin-$\fth$ propagator only for a specific choice of free parameter. For the general case the problem can be solved by including higher order derivatives of spin-$\fth$ fields or by modifying the original coupling. In the latter case the obtained Lagrangian depends on one free parameter pointing to the freedom in choosing an 'off-shell' content of the theory. However, the physical observables must not be affected by the 'off-shell' contributions and should not depend on the free parameter of the Lagrangian.

eta-photoproduction in the resonance energy region

The $η$ production in the nucleon resonance energy region is studied within the unitary coupled-channels effective Lagrangian approach of the Giessen model. We demonstrate that the second peak recently observed in the cross section of $η$ photoproduction on the neutron at $\sqrt{s}$=1.66 GeV can be explained in terms of coupled-channel effects due to $S_{11}(1650)$ and $P_{11}(1710)$ resonance excitations.

The spectral function of the omega meson in nuclear matter from a coupled-channel resonance model

We calculate the spectral function of the omega meson in nuclear matter at zero temperature by means of the low-density theorem. The omega N forward scattering amplitude is calculated within a unitary coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model that has been applied successfully to the combined analysis of pion- and photon-induced reactions. While the peak of the omega spectral distribution is shifted only slightly, we find a considerable broadening of the omega meson due to resonance-hole excitations. For omega mesons at rest with respect to the surrounding nuclear medium, we find an additional width of about 60 MeV at saturation density.

Meson Production on the Nucleon in the Giessen K-Matrix Approach

Meson production on the proton is described in a coupled channels K-matrix approach. Both hadronic and photonic scenarios are taken into account on the same theoretical footing. At tree-level the Born amplitudes are obtained from an effective Lagrangian with phenomenologically adjustable coupling constants. The spectral distributions, resonances and their width and the background contributions are obtained within the same approach, thus accounting properly for interference effects. Applications to omega- and associated strangeness production on the proton are discussed.

Coupled-channel analysis of the $ω$-meson production in $πN$ and $γN$ reactions for c.m. energies up to 2 GeV

The pion- and photon induced reactions for the final states $γN$, $πN$, $2πN$, $ηN$, and $ωN$ are studied within a coupled-channel effective Lagrangian approach in the energy region from the pion threshold up to 2 GeV. To investigate the role of the nucleon resonances in the different reactions we include all known states with spin-$\foh$,-$\fth$, and -$\ffh$ and masses below 2 GeV. We find a strong contribution from the $D_{15}(1675)$ resonance to the $πN \to ωN$ reaction. While the $F_{15}(1680)$ state only slightly influences the $ω$ meson production in the $πN$ scattering its role is enhanced in the $ω$ photoproduction due to the large electromagnetic coupling of this resonance. We predict the beam asymmetry $Σ_X$ to be a negative in the $γp \to ωp$ reaction near to the threshold. Above the 1.85 GeV the asymmetry is found to change its sign and becomes positive at forward directions. The presented findings can be experimentally tested at GRAAL, CLAS, and CB-ELSA facilities.

A coupled-channel analysis of $KΛ$ production in the nucleon resonance region

A unitary coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model is applied to the combined analysis of the $(π,γ) N \to KΛ$ reactions in the energy region up to 2 GeV. To constrain the resonance couplings to the $KΛ$ final state the recent photoproduction data obtained by the SAPHIR, SPring-8, and CLAS groups are included into the calculations. The main resonance contributions to the process stem from the $S_{11}(1650)$, $P_{13}(1720)$, and $P_{13}(1900)$ states. The second bump at 1.9 GeV seen in the photoproduction cross section data is described as a coherent sum of the resonance and background contributions. The prediction for the beam polarization observable is presented.

Spin-5/2 resonance contributions to the pion-induced reactions for energies $\sqrt{s}\leqslant$2.0 GeV

The spin-$\ffh$ resonance effects are studied within the coupled channel effective Lagrangian model for baryon resonance analysis. We extend our previous hadronic calculations to incorporate the $D_{15}$, $F_{15}$, $D_{35}$, $F_{35}$ states. While the effect of the spin-$\ffh$ resonances to the $ηN$, $K Λ$, and $K Σ$ reactions are small, the contribution to the $ωN$ is found to be important. The results for the 'conventional' and Pascalutsa-like spin-$\ffh$ descriptions are discussed. \PACS{{11.80.-m},{13.75.Gx},{14.20.Gk},{13.30.Gk}}

Spin-5/2 resonance effects in a coupled channel nucleon resonance analysis

Spin-$\ffh$ resonance contributions in pion-nucleon scattering are investigated within the coupled channel $K$-matrix approach for c.m. energies up to $\sqrt s=$ 2 GeV. All previously studied $πN$, $2πN$, $ηN$, $K Λ$, $K Σ$, and $ωN$ final states are included. We find a significant improvement of $χ^2$ in almost all channels by inclusion of the spin-$\ffh$ states. The obtained coupling parameters are discussed.
