Pion - Nucleon Bremsstrahlung beyond the Soft-Photon approximation
Abstract
A dynamical model based on effective Lagrangians is proposed to describe the bremsstrahlung reaction π N π N γ at low energies. The (1232) degrees of freedom are incorporated in a way consistent with both, electromagnetic gauge invariance and invariance under contact transformations. The model also includes the initial and final state rescattering of hadrons via a T-matrix with off the momentum-shell effects. The double differential distribution of photons is computed for three different T-matrix models and the results are compared with the soft photon approximation, and with experimental data. The aim of this analysis is to test the off-shell behaviour of the different T-matrices under consideration. Finally an alternative simpler dynamical model that incorporates the unstable character of the isobar-(1232) through a complex mass, is presented. As we will see it is suitable for the study of the magnetic moment of the resonance.
