Delta pi decay of baryons in a flux tube breaking mechanism

Based on the flux-tube-breaking mechanism, we have previously studied the strong decay of non-strange baryons into the elastic and several inelastic channels. Here, we extend these studies to Delta-pi decay. We compare our results with those of Koniuk and Isgur and with recently improved experimental data. We also present results of a new and improved calculation of N-pi decay and discuss the problem of resonance identification.
