摘要
It is demonstrated that there is a dynamic isospin breaking effect in the near threshold gamma*N --> pi N reaction due to the mass difference of the up and down quarks, which also causes isospin breaking in the pi N system. The photopion reaction is affected through final state pi N interactions (formally implemented by unitarity and time reversal invariance). It is also demonstrated that the near threshold gamma N --> pi N reaction is a practical reaction to measure isospin breaking in the pi N system, which was first predicted by Weinberg about 20 years ago but has never been experimentally tested.
