چکیده
We report new precise H(e,e(')p)pi(0) measurements at the Delta(1232) resonance at Q(2)=0.127 (GeV/c)(2) obtained at the MIT-Bates out-of-plane scattering facility which are particularly sensitive to the transverse electric amplitude (E2) of the gamma(*)N-->Delta transition. The new data have been analyzed together with those of earlier measurements to yield precise quadrupole to dipole amplitude ratios: Re(E(3/2)(1+)/M(3/2)(1+))=(-2.3+/-0.3(stat+syst)+/-0.6(model))% and Re(S(3/2)(1+)/M(3/2)(1+))=(-6.1+/-0.2(stat+syst)+/-0.5(model))% for M(3/2)(1+)=(41.4+/-0.3(stat+syst)+/-0.4(model))(10(-3)/m(pi(+))). The derived amplitudes give credence to the conjecture of deformation in hadrons favoring, at low Q2, the dominance of mesonic effects.

Measurement of the Coulomb quadrupole amplitude in the γp → ∆(1232) reaction in the low momentum transfer region
Experiment E08-010 in Hall A at Jefferson Lab proposes to measure the Coulomb quadrupole transition amplitude of the pion electroproduction reaction with energies near the ∆ resonance and a low momentum transfer between the electron and proton. The results of this experiment will help expand knowledge about the CMR at low Q 2 , which in turn will increase the world’s knowledge about nucleon def...

We propose to make a measurement of the p(e, e′p)πo reaction in the ∆ resonance at the low momentum transfer region using the two HRS spectrometers in Hall A. The primary goal of this experiment is to precisely determine the Coulomb quadrupole amplitude behavior at low Q and to provide valuable information regarding the mechanisms that contribute to the nucleon deformation. Measurements will be...
متن کاملSum Rules and Moments of the Nucleon Spin Structure Functions
The nucleon has been used as a laboratory to investigate its own spin structure and Quantum Chromodynamics. New experimental data on nucleon spin structure at low to intermediate momentum transfers combined with existing high momentum transfer data offer a comprehensive picture of the transition region from the confinement regime of the theory to its asymptotic freedom regime. Insight for some ...
متن کاملHadron structure at small momentum transfer . Thomas Walcher Institut für Kernphysik Johannes - Gutenberg - Universität Mainz
Giving three examples, the form factors of the nucleon, the polarisability of the charged pion and the interference of the S11(1535) with the D13(1520) excitation of the nucleon in the η p-decay channel, it is argued that the hadron structure at low momentum transfer is highly significant for studying QCD.
متن کاملNucleon Momentum Distributions from a Modified Scaling Analysis of Inclusive
Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at low momentum transfer (corresponding to x ≥ 1) and moderate Q is dominated by quasifree scattering from nucleons. In the impulse approximation, the cross section can be directly connected to the nucleon momentum distribution via the scaling function F (y). The breakdown of the y-scaling assumptions in certain kinematic regions have prevented extracti...
