Abstract:
In an effective Lagrangian model employing the K-matrix approximation we extract nucleon resonance parameters. To this end we analyze simultaneously all available data for reactions involving the final states πN\pi N, ππN\pi\pi N, ηN\eta N and KΛK \Lambda in the energy range mN+mπs1.9m_N + m_{\pi} \le \sqrt s \le 1.9 GeV. The background contributions are generated consistently from the relevant Feynman amplitudes, thus significantly reducing the number of free parameters.
