Measurement of inverse pion photoproduction at energies spanning theN(1440)resonance

The study of the light baryon resonances, in particu-lar the determination of their electromagnetic couplings,is undergoing a resurgence driven by a stream of new,high-precision data emanating from experimental pro-grams at modern photon facilities. The main propertiesof the ∆(1232) resonance, the mass, pole value, masssplittings, width, and branching ratio for different decay
