The program¡¯s analysis is based on a dynamical coupled-channels approach developed by the Collaboration [1-4], where the basic symmetries, such as the two-body unitarity, analyticity, and gauge invariance are respected. In particular, gauge invariance is enforced as dictated by the generalized Ward-Takahashi identity. In the hadronic reactions sector, the ¦ÐN, ¦ÇN, K¦«, and K¡Æ channels are included, in addition to the effective ¦Ð¦ÐN channels ¦ÒN, ¦ÑN, and ¦Ð¦¤. Energies up to ¡Ìs = 2 GeV are considered. In the photon-induced reactions sector, the neutral and charged pion photoproduction processes are considered up to ¡Ìs = 1.65 GeV so far [4]. These are currently being extended to higher energies including the ¦ÇN, K¦«, and K¡Æ channels. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/20123701022
