Abstract

Masses, widths and photocouplings of baryon resonances are determined in a coupled-channel partial-wave analysis of a large variety of data. The Bonn-Gatchina partial-wave formalism is extended to include a decomposition of t and u exchange amplitudes into individual partial waves. The multipole transition amplitudes for
