Abstract: We investigate the structure of the nucleon resonance N*(1440) (Roper) within a coupled-channel meson exchange model for pion-nucleon scattering. The coupling to pi pi N states is realized effectively by the coupling to the sigma N, pi Delta, and rho N channels. The interaction within and between these channels is derived from an effective Lagrangian based on a chirally symmetric Lagrangian, which is supplemented by well known terms for the coupling of the Delta isobar, the omega meson, and the "sigma," which is the name given here to the strong correlation of two pions in the scalar-isoscalar channel. In this model the Roper resonance can be described by meson-baryon dynamics alone; no genuine N*(1440) (three quark) resonance is needed in order to fit pi N phase shifts and inelasticities.
