Abstract
Recent results are presented for quasifree pion photoproduction off the deuteron in the energy region from threshold up to the Delta(1232)-resonance with inclusion of all leading pi NN effects. Final-state interaction effects are investigated and their role in polarized and unpolarized observables are found to be significant. The sensitivity of results to the elementary N(gamma,pi)N operator is discussed and considerable dependence is found. We expect that these results may be useful to interpret the recent measurements from LEGS, A2 and GDH Collaborations.
