Description

Phenomenological amplitudes obtained in partial-wave analyses of single-pion photoproduction are used to evaluate the contribution of this process to the Gerasimov--Drell--Hearn (GDH), Baldin, and Gell-Mann--Goldberger--Thirring (GGT) sum rules, by integrating up to 2 GeV in photon energy. Our study confirms that the single-pion contribution to all these sum rules converges even before the highest considered photon energy, but the levels of saturation are very different in these three cases. Single-pion production almost saturates the GDH sum rule for the proton, while a large fraction is missing in the neutron case. The Baldin integrals for the proton and the neutron are both saturated to about four fifths of the predicted total strength. For the GGT sum rule, the wide variability in predictions precludes any definitive statement.
