description

Pion photoproduction has been analyzed in the framework of dispersion relations at constant t. The results for S-wave pion production at threshold and P-wave production in the Δ (1232) resonance region are presented and compared to the data and theoretical expectations. The predictions for the GDH sum rule are shown to be very sensitive to the threshold S-wave amplitude.
