Measurement of the N-->Delta(+)(1232) transition at high-momentum transfer by pi(0) electroproduction.

چکیده
We report a new measurement of the exclusive electroproduction reaction gamma(*)p-->pi(0)p to explore the evolution from soft nonperturbative physics to hard processes via the Q(2) dependence of the magnetic (M(1+)), electric (E(1+)), and scalar (S(1+)) multipoles in the N-->Delta transition. 9000 differential cross section data points cover W from threshold to 1.4 GeV/c(2), 4pi center-of-mass solid angle, and Q(2) from 3 to 6 GeV(2)/c(2), the highest yet achieved. It is found that the magnetic form factor G(M)(*) decreases with Q(2) more steeply than the proton magnetic form factor, the ratio E(1+)/M(1+) is small and negative, indicating strong helicity nonconservation, and the ratio S(1+)/M(1+) is negative, while its magnitude increases with Q(2).

Electromagnetic nucleon-to-delta transition in chiral effective-field theory.
We perform a relativistic chiral effective-field theory calculation of pion electroproduction off the nucleon (e- N --> e- N(pi)) in the delta(1232)-resonance region. After fixing the three low-energy constants, corresponding to the magnetic (M1), electric (E2), and Coulomb (C2) gammaNdelta couplings, our calculation provides a prediction for the momentum transfer and pion-mass dependence of th...

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 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 amplitu...

Helicity amplitudes for the γ * N → ∆ transition are calculated using the cloudy bag model. A correction for center-of-mass motion is carried out using a modified Peierls-Thouless projection method. This reduces the magnitude of the transition amplitudes at small momentum transfer and enhances them at modest momentum transfers. Our calculation shows that the pion cloud contributes substantially...

The multipole amplitudes for the N – ∆(1232) electromagnetic transition are computed in the framework of the linear σ model and the chiral chromodielectric model for small and moderate photon virtualities. The models include quark and meson degrees of freedom and the nucleon and the delta are clusters of three valence hedgehog quarks surrounded by meson clouds described by coherent states. Angu...
