Description
Photoproduction of pion pairs off (quasi-) free nucleons is important to investigate the excitation spectrum of the nucleon for low energy QCD, in particular for decays via intermediate excited states. Quasi-free production of such pairs off heavier nuclei also figures prominently in the study of the in-medium properties of nucleon resonances. In the present work production of $\pi^0\pi^{\pm}$ pairs off liquid deuterium is analysed using data taken at MAMI with the A2 experiment as a starting point for a detailed investigation of this channel for nuclear targets. Data for a $^4$He target have also already been taken.
