Electromagnetic Transition Form Factors of Nucleon Resonances
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurements of nucleon resonance transition form factors with CLAS at Jefferson Lab are discussed. The new data resolve a long-standing puzzle of the nature of the Roper resonance, and confirm the assertion of the symmetric constituent quark model of the Roper as the first radial excitation of the nucleon. The data on high Q nπ production confirm the slow fall off of the S11(1535) transition form factor with Q, and better constrain the branching ratios βNπ = 0.50 and βNη = 0.45. For the first time, the longitudinal transition amplitude to the S11(1535) was extracted from the nπ + data. Also, new results on the transition amplitudes for the D13(1520) resonance are presented showing a rapid transition from helicity 3/2 dominance seen at the real photon point to helicty 1/2 dominance at higher Q.

We have calculated the transition form factors for the electromagnetic excitation of the negative parity resonances of the nucleon using different models previously proposed and we discuss their results and limits by comparison with experimental data.
متن کاملElectromagnetic Form Factors of Baryons
Electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon and its excitations (baryon resonances) provide a powerful tool to investigate the structure of the nucleon. These form factors can be measured in electroproduction as a function of the four-momentum squared q = −Q of the virtual photon. In this contribution we present a simultaneous study of the elastic form factors of the nucleon and the transition ...
متن کاملAlgebraic model of baryon resonances
We discuss recent calculations of electromagnetic form factors and strong decay widths of nucleon and delta resonances. The calculations are done in a collective constituent model of the nucleon, in which the baryons are interpreted as rotations and vibrations of an oblate top.
متن کاملLight-Baryon Spectroscopy and the Electromagnetic Form Factors in the Quark Model
The momentum distributions of the constituent quarks inside the nucleon and the prominent electroproduced nucleon resonances are investigated in the two most sophisticated, available quark potential models, based respectively on the assumption of the valence + gluon dominance and on the exchange of the pseudoscalar Goldstonebosons arising from the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. It is ...
متن کاملPhenomenological hadron form factors: shape and relativity
Abstract. The use of relativistic quark models with simple parametric wave functions for the understanding of the electromagnetic structure of nucleons together with their electromagnetic transition to resonances is discussed. The implications of relativity in the different ways it can be implemented in a simple model are studied together with the role played by mixed symmetry s-state and D-sta...
متن کاملForm Factors and Diffractive Scattering ?
Hadronic elastic and transition form factors are used to describe elastic nucleon-nucleon and pion-nucleon scattering, as well as diffractive excitation of nucleon resonances in an optical model. Very good quantitative agreement with available experimental results is obtained.
