Abstract
We have performed a dynamical coupled-channels analysis of available data in the region of GeV and (GeV/). The channels included are , , , and that has , , and components. With the hadronic parameters of the model determined in our previous investigations of , reactions, we have found that the available data in the considered GeV region can be fitted well by only adjusting the bare helicity amplitudes for the lowest states in , , , and partial waves. The sensitivity of the resulting parameters to the amount of data included in the analysis is investigated. The importance of coupled-channels effect on the cross sections is demonstrated. The meson cloud effect, as required by the unitarity conditions, on the form factors are also examined. Necessary future developments, both experimentally and theoretically, are discussed.
