$Δ(1232)$ resonance in the $\vecγp\rightarrow pπ^0$ reaction at threshold (1602.08967v2)
Published 29 Feb 2016 in hep-ph
Abstract: We calculate the neutral pion photoproduction on the proton near threshold in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory, including the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance as an explicit degree of freedom, up to chiral order $p{7/2}$ in the $\delta$ counting. We compare our results with recent low-energy data from the Mainz Microtron for angular distributions and photon asymmetries. The convergence of the chiral series of the covariant approach is found to improve substantially with the inclusion of the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance.
