A model for the γN → ππN reaction
We have studied the γN → ππN reaction using a model wich includes N, Δ(1232), N*(1440) and N*(1520) intermediate baryonic states and the ρ-meson as a intermediate ππ resonance. The model reproduces fairly well experimental cross sections below Eγ=800 MeV and invariant-mass distributions even at higher energies. One of the interesting findings of study is what the γN → N*(1520) → Δπ process is very important and interferes strongly with the dominant Δ-Kroll-Ruderman term to produce the experimental peak of the kross section.

Double-delta production in the gamma-d-]pn-pi(+)pi(-) reaction
We have studied the gamma d ---> Delta++ Delta- reaction which requires the collaboration of the two nucleons in deuteron. By means of a model previously developed for the gamma p ----> p pi+ pi- reaction, the two body exchange currents leading to double delta creation are derived. A fair agreement is obtained with a recent experiment, but more precise measurements and the extension to higher photon energies look advisable in order to see the limits of the present theoretical approach
Recent developments in one and two pion production in elementary reactions and few-body systems
In this talk we cover several issues concerning pion production. The first one is the p p ----> p p pi^0 reaction where an alternative explanation based on the off shell extrapolation of the pi N amplitude is offered. A recent model for the gamma N ----> pi pi N reaction is presented and a new kind of exchange current is constructed from it which allows one to address problems like double Delta photoproduction from the deuteron. Finally the (gamma, pi pi) reaction in nuclei is studied and shown to be highly sensitive to the renormalization of the pions in nuclei.
