E2/M1 ratio from the Mainz data
We suggest that the error quoted in the Mainz determination of the E2/M1
ratio (at the resonance energy) should be enlarged. A term dropped in
expressions used by this group could be significant.Comment: 2 pages of text. Submitted to the Comments section of PR
Single-channel fits and K-matrix constraints
A K-matrix formalism is used to relate single-channel and multi-channel fits.
We show how the single-channel formalism changes as new hadronic channels
become accessible. These relations are compared to those commonly used to fit
pseudoscalar meson photoproduction data.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. A numerical example has been adde
Comment on `Measurement of the analyzing power at 68.3 MeV'
We comment on a recent paper by Weiser et al. [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 54}, 1930
(1996)]. The authors have performed a single-energy analysis of
scattering data at 68.3 MeV, finding a value for the phase shift about
1^o smaller than found in the Karlsruhe-Helsinki (KH) partial-wave analysis.
The authors use this result to argue for a dispersion relation analysis using
recently measured data, so that their effect on the coupling constant
(f^2) and amplitude can be determined. We note that these tasks were
accomplished prior to the submission of the above paper. We clarify the effect
of this new analyzing power data on f^2 and the amplitude.Comment: 5 pages of text. Revised according to Referee suggestion
Correlations of Partial Waves for Multi-Reaction Analyses
In the search for missing baryonic resonances, many analyses include data
from a variety of pion- and photon-induced reactions. For elastic
scattering, however, usually the partial waves of the SAID or other groups are
fitted, instead of data. We provide the partial-wave covariance matrices needed
to perform correlated fits, in which the obtained equals the
actual up non-linear and normalization corrections. For any analysis
relying on partial waves extracted from elastic pion scattering, this is a
prerequisite to assess the significance of resonance signals and to assign any
uncertainty on results. The influence of systematic errors is also considered.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures; Acknowledgements update
