Abstract

We continue to update our PWA of fundamental reactions as new data become available. Of primary interest to the N^* program are πN elastic scattering and the photo- and electroproduction of pions. Other photo-reactions are more model dependent, but may reveal resonances coupling weakly to πN final states. We also mention recent results from nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering, which have a less well-known connection to experimental programs proposing to extract N ^* properties from complete experiments.
