Abstract: (APS)
We present a coupled channels model for πN scattering based on N, Δ, and NS11*(1535) pole and nonpole contributions, plus correlated 2π and a0 meson exchange. The open channels considered are πN, ηN, σN, and πΔ. The model gives a qualitatively good fit to the phase shifts and elasticity parameters in both isospin channels for partial waves up to J=32 and πN c.m. energies of 1.4 GeV. Above that energy the appearance of resonances in various partial waves precludes a precise fit to the data without explicitly including resonances in those partial waves and—probably—additional inelastic channels. Within the model the NS11*(1535) resonance appears to require a genuine three-quark component, whereas the NP11*(1440) resonance appears to permit description as a purely dynamical effect.
