Abstract
Distorted-wave impulse approximation formalism in momentum space including the averaging over nucleon Fermi motion is presented for the case of nuclear pion photoproduction. Representative examples of the partial transitions on the , , , , and nuclei at several photon energies are compared with the data and discussed. This has enabled us to focus clearly on the successes and limitations in the present understanding of the nuclear photoproduction field.
