The Dubna-Mainz-Taipei Dynamical Model for $\pi N$ Scattering and $\pi$ Electromagnetic Production
Some of the featured results of the Dubna-Mainz-Taipei (DMT) dynamical model for $\pi N$ scattering and $\pi^0$ electromagnetic production are summarized. These include results for threshold $\pi^0$ production, deformation of $\Delta(1232)$, and the extracted properties of higher resonances below 2 GeV. The excellent agreement of DMT model's predictions with threshold $\pi^0$ production data, including the recent precision measurements from MAMI establishes results of DMT model as a benchmark for experimentalists and theorists in dealing with threshold pion production.
