We analyze the process in the resonance region within the framework of isobar model. The amplitude is constructed as a sum of tree-level Feynman diagrams with the addition of the contact current ensuring gauge invariance of the total amplitude. The resonance content of our models is inspired by a model for the isospin-related channel. The main coupling constant in the vertex is estimated with help of isospin symmetry and the rest of the free parameters (resonance couplings and hadronic form-factors cutoffs) are calibrated to the available data. Using the resulting models, we calculate the differential and total cross sections, as well as polarization observables (, , , , ), and compare them with measurements. We identify the and states as the most important ones for good correspondence with the experimental data.
