abstract
We analyze the low-energy spin structure of the nucleon in a covariant effective field theory with explicit spin-3/2 degrees of freedom to third order in the small scale expansion. Using the available data on the strong and electromagnetic width of the Delta-resonance, we give parameter-free predictions for various spin-polarizabilities and moments of spin structure functions. We find an improved description of the nucleon spin structure at finite photon virtualities for some observables and point out the necessity of a fourth order calculation.

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.
