Pion photoproduction in the resonance region

We have updated our multipole analyses to incorporate new data from the low-energy and {Delta} resonance regions. We note a slight decrease in our estimate of the {Delta} photodecay amplitudes. This agrees with results found in Compton scattering. Our values are also in good agreement with another previous determination. We have reexamined our determinations of the E2/M1 ratio at the resonance energy and at the pole. We find an E2/M1 ratio (at the pole) which is in good agreement with the recent Mainz value. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
