We apply the chiral color dielectric model to low- and medium-energy scattering within the coupled [pi][ital N] and [pi][Delta] system. Dynamic baryon states in which quarks are confined by the scalar color dielectric field are constructed in Fock space. Spurious motion of the center of mass is eliminated by constructing momentum eigenstates via a Peierls-Yoccoz projection. The relativistic Lippmann-Schwinger equation is solved for the complex energies of the [ital T] matrix poles, and the pole positions of the nucleon and delta are used to fix the few parameters of the model. The [ital S]- and [ital P]-wave phase shifts, the bare [ital N] and [Delta] masses, the renormalized [pi][ital NN] and [pi][ital N][Delta] coupling constants, and the [pi][ital NN] and [pi][ital N][Delta] vertex functions are predicted. We conclude that the monopole form factors often found in the literature are inadequate for reproducing [pi][ital N] scattering, and that more realistic ones such as those from the color dielectric model are needed. We also conclude that the radius parameter of the form factor is more than twice as large as that preferred by meson exchange potential models. By renormalizing the [pi][ital N] vertex by the pion field, the ratio of the [pi][ital N][Delta] to [pi][ital NN] coupling constants is closer to experiment than the SU(6) prediction.
