A Dynamical Model for the Resonant Multipoles and the $Δ$ Structure
Abstract
Description
We show that recent experiment data for the ratios $E_{1^+}/M_{1^+}$ and $S_{1^+}/M_{1^+}$ can be explained in a dynamical model for electromagnetic production of pions, together with a simple scaling assumption for the bare $γ^* N Δ$ form factors. Within our model we find that the bare $Δ$ is almost spherical and the electric E2 and Coulomb C2 quadrupole excitations of the physical $Δ$ are nearly saturated by pion cloud contribution in $Q^2 \le 4.0 GeV^2$.
