description

Abstract The A1 Collaboration performs an extend program to measure threshold production of the neutral pion as test of Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. Starting with direct threshold measurements to extract the s wave amplitudes at threshold we continued with out of plane measurements with polarized beam to access the small p wave amplitudes. Coherent production off the deuteron is the first attempt to access the neutron amplitude in electro production.
