Total and differential cross-sections for the reaction have been measured with the Crystal Ball/TAPS detector using the tagged photon facility at the MAMI C accelerator in Mainz. In the energy range GeV the reaction is dominated by the excitation and sequential decay of the -resonance. Angular distributions measured with high statistics allow us to determine the ratio of hadronic decay widths and the ratio of the helicity amplitudes for this resonance.
