Abstract
Eur.Phys.J. A16 (2003) 111-125 The influence of final state $NN$- and pi N-rescattering in incoherent pion
photoproduction on the deuteron has been investigated. For the elementary
photoproduction operator an effective Lagrangian model is used which describes
well the elementary reaction. The interactions in the final two-body subsystems
are taken in separable form. While NN-rescattering shows quite a significant
effect, particularly strong for neutral pion production, pi N-rescattering is
almost negligible. Inclusion of such effects leads to an improved and quite
satisfactory agreement with experiment.
