The Effect of Recent Pion Photoproduction Data on the SAID and MAID Analyses

ORAL

Abstract

Major experimental contributions to the SAID Pion Photoproduction data base from JLab, Mainz, Bonn, LNS, and Spring-8 have recently been publish or are about to be published. These data significantly constrain the SAID and MAID Partial-Wave Analyses. Yet there are still disagreements between the two analyses, especially in their predictions for double scattering channels. Three of these laboratories (JLab, Mainz, and Bonn) are in a position to perform ``complete'' experiments on complementary pion channels and in overlapping energy ranges. Latest Partial-Wave Analysis results will be compared to the latest published data and similarities and differences between SAID and MAID will be discussed.
