Unitary theory of pion photoproduction in the chiral bag model

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

We present a multichannel unitary theory of single pion photoproduction from a baryon B. Here, B is the nucleon or ..delta..(1232), with possible extension to include the Roper resonance and strange baryons. We treat the baryon as a three-quark state within the framework of the gauge and chiral Lagrangian, derived from the Lagrangian for the chiral bag model. By first exposing two-body, and then three-body unitarity, taking into consideration the ..pi pi..B and ..gamma pi..B intermediate states, we derive a set of equations for the amplitudes both on and off the energy shell. The Born term in the expansion of the amplitude has the new feature that the vertices in the pole diagram are undressed, while those in the crossed, contact, and pion pole diagrams are dressed.
