Abstract

A model of the coupled πN, ρN, σN, and πΔ channels is adjusted to the πN scattering and pion production data below 700-MeV pion laboratory kinetic energy. A very good description is obtained of the complex D13 amplitude below 700 MeV, simultaneously with a good fit to the structural details of pion production in the 400-700-MeV energy interval. In computing the pion production distributions, the only addition made to the D13 contribution is a phase-space background accounting for 20-50% of the production cross section. The maximal interference effects between decaying resonances are investigated. Also reported are attempts to fit the data without the σN channel, but with the ωN or higher threshold channels. The cross sections for ρ, Δ, or ω production predicted at 1.0-1.5 BeV are consistent with the higher-energy data: Too much σ production is predicted.
