In this article, based on an effective Lagrangian approach and available knowledge on the Roper resonance, we investigate the role of the Roper resonance for the pp->pn pi+ reaction. It is found that the contribution from the Roper resonance N*(1440) becomes significant for kinetic energy above 1.1 GeV, consistent with the new experimental observation. The t-channel sigma-meson exchange is dominant for the production of the Roper resonance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-02-25T03:49:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.20.Gk", "13.75.Cs", "13.30.Eg" ], "keywords": [ "roper resonance", "t-channel sigma-meson exchange", "effective lagrangian approach", "clear evidence", "kinetic energy" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nuclear Physics A", "year": 2009, "month": "Apr", "volume": 821, "number": 1, "pages": 220 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 793697, "adsabs": "2009NuPhA.821..220O" } } }
