Heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with light deltas

We demonstrate how the heavy baryon method, previously applied to chiral perturbation theory calculations involving the interactions of nucleons and pions, can be generalized to include interactions with the first nucleon resonance--$\Delta$(1232). The formalism is developed in terms of a small scal...
