Abstract
We present an ongoing project to assess the importance of D-waves and the Δ(1232) resonance for descriptions of neutral pion photoproduction in Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. This research has been motivated by data published by the A2 and CB-TAPS collaborations at MAMI [1]. This data has reached unprecedented levels of accuracy from threshold through to the Δ resonance. Accompanying the experimental work, there has also been a series of publications studying the theory that show that, to go beyond an energy of Eγ=170 MeV, it is necessary to include other aspects, in particular the Δ(1232) as a degree of freedom [2] and possibly higher partial waves [3].
