2. Some time ago it was noticed that the resonance production • cross section exhibited some strange features: • s proportional to E at high energies • s(nt) = s(nm) at high energies • s(nt)/s(nm) too high at low energies Resonance Production Resonance / single pion production: Rein-Seghal model. Uses the Feynman-Kivlinger-Ravndal model of the nucleon to solve explicitly for the bound states. These are then identified with the measured resonances and the transition amplitudes are calculated directly. 17 resonances in the model, predictions dominated by the D(1232) at low energies. The Table at right gives the cross sections for n n m R+ Units are 10-38 cm2 (from Annals of Physics, 133, (1981) 79) Other MC codes use different models, some involve no resonance production other than the D. Does the available data show evidence of non-D(1232) resonance production?

3. Resonance Production A previous kludge had been to just eliminate all n=2 resonances from the calculation. n=1 n=2 original with W cut n=0 no n=2 Resonances now only contribute for W<2 GeV.

4. Resonance Production s(nt)/s(nm) too high at low energies s(5GeV) ~ 3 times the QEL cross section Resonance The lepton mass terms are accounted for in the calculation of phase space but not in the matrix element. QEL Include a fudge factor which is the ratio of the QEL matrix elements with and without the tau mass included. DIS
