Improved Unitarized Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory for pion-nucleon Scattering to fourth order
Abstract
We extend our previous analysis of the unitarized pion-nucleon scattering amplitude including up to fourth order terms in Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. We pay special attention to the stability of the generated Delta(1232 resonance, the convergence problems and the power counting of the chiral parameters.
