Roper Electroproduction Amplitudes in a Chiral Confinement Model
نویسنده
چکیده
A description of the Roper using the chiral chromodielectric model is presented and the transverse A1/2 and the scalar S1/2 helicity amplitudes for the electromagnetic Nucleon–Roper transition are obtained for small and moderate Q. The sign of the amplitudes is correct but the model predictions underestimate the data at the photon point. Our results do not indicate a change of sign in any amplitudes up to Q ∼ 1 GeV. The contribution of the scalar meson excitations to the Roper electroproduction is taken into account but it turns out to be small in comparison with the quark contribution. However, it is argued that mesonic excitations may play a more prominent role in higher excited states.

electroproduction amplitudes in a model with dynamical confinement
The Roper resonance is described in a chiral version of the chromodielectric model as a cluster of three quarks in radial-orbital configuration (1s)2(2s)1, surrounded by π and σ-meson clouds and by a chromodielectric field which assures quark dynamical confinement. Radial profiles for all fields are determined self-consistently for each baryon. Transverse A1/2 and scalar S1/2 helicity amplitude...
متن کاملRadial Excited States of the Nucleon in Quark Models with Dynamical Confinement
The P11(1440) (Roper) resonance 1 is the lowest positive-parity N state, most clearly visible in partial-wave decompositions of πN → πN and πN → ππN scattering, as well as in pion photoproduction. Although this four-star resonance is within the energy reach of many modern research facilities, the experimental analyses so far have not ventured beyond the determination of its mass, width, and ele...
متن کاملThe Pion Electroproduction in the ∆(1232) Region
The amplitudes of the pion electroproduction from the nucleon are derived up to O(ǫ3) in the framework of chiral effective theory including pions, nucleons and ∆(1232) isobars as explicit degrees of freedom. The Q2 evolutions of the weighted integrals of amplitudes are presented and the predictive power of the method proposed in the previous study of pion photoproduction [1] is shown.
متن کاملExclusive Meson Electroproduction: GPDs, Regge and Dispersion Relations
Exclusive pi0 electroproduction from nucleons at large photon virtuality can be described in terms of Generalized Parton Distributions, particularly the chiral odd subset. Chiral odd GPDs are related to transversity and can be accessed experimentally for various special choices of observables. This is accomplished by choosing C-parity odd and chiral odd combinations of t-channel exchange quantu...
متن کاملTHRESHOLD TWO–PION PHOTO – AND ELECTROPRODUCTION: More neutrals than expected
We present an exploratory study of two pion photo– and electroproduction off the nu-cleon in the threshold region. To calculate the pertinent amplitudes, we make use of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We show that due to finite chiral loops the production cross section for final states with two neutral pions is considerably enhanced. The experimental implications are briefly discussed.
