What for?

• ChPT is the effective field theory of QCD in the low-energy regime

• Testing ChPT we test hadron dynamics in the low-energy regime

• Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking• i.e. Chiral Symmetry predicts:

• Soft S wave in neutral pion photoproduction. Vanishes in the chiral limit so that its value at threshold is explicitly chiral symmetry breaking

• Unknowns which have to be set from outside the Theory: LECs• Lattice• Experiment

Questions Arise

• It is an effective theory, so...

What’s the energy range of application?

Are we including all the right degrees of freedom?

Neutral Pion Photoproduction

• A2 and CB-TAPS collaborations at MAMI

• In the near-threshold region

• High accuracy

• Polarized photons

• LH2 target

• First measurements of photon asymmetry depending on the energy

Multipoles

• Single Energy

• Model independent extraction of S and P waves energy bin by energy bin

• D waves fixed to Born terms

• Empirical

• Taylor expansion in the partial waves + S wave cusp (unitarity)

• Provides consistency test for single energy extraction

• Chiral symmetry is not incorporated in this approach

• HBChPT

Δ?

More on Δ• πN has a big improvement if Δ is incorporated in relativistic ChPT

• Large Nc limit

• Δ is necessary to get a consistent scheme

• Fine interconnection between Δ and nucleons in loops

• Impact in peripheral charge density and magnetization

• Needed to get consistent connection with LQCD computations of gA

• Vector mesons in neutral pion photoproduction?
