description

We present a calculation of pion photo- and electroproduction in manifestly Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral perturbation theory up to and including order ${q}^{4}$. We fix the low-energy constants by fitting experimental data in all available reaction channels. Our results can be accessed via a Web interface, the so-called chiral MAID. We explain how our program works and how it can be used for further analysis.
