Partial-Wave Analysis of Single-Pion Production Reactions
, 2006 We present an overview of our efforts to analyze pion-nucleon elastic scattering data, along with data from related photo- and electroproduction reactions, in order to study the baryon spectrum. We then focus on the Delta(1232) resonance.
