abstract
I discuss the problem of formulating the baryon chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT) in the presence of a light resonance, such as the $\Delta(1232)$, the lightest nucleon resonance. It is shown how to extend the power counting of $\chi$PT to correctly account for the resonant contributions. Recent applications of the resulting chiral effective-field theory to the description of pion production reactions in $\Delta$-resonance region are briefly reviewed.

Pion photoproduction off nucleons in covariant chiral perturbation theory
Including the Delta(1232) resonance in a third-order covariant chiral perturbation theory fit reproduces near-threshold pion photoproduction data across all charge channels far better than leaving it out.
