These charge densities are characterized by a dipole pattern, in addition to the monopole field corresponding with the unpolarized density. Furthermore, we use the latest empirical information on the $N \to Δ$ transition form factors to map out the transition charge density which induces the $N \to Δ$ excitation. This transition charge density in a transversely polarized $N$ and $Δ$ contains both monopole, dipole and quadrupole patterns, the latter corresponding with a deformation of the hadron's charge distribution.4 pages, 3 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyEmpirical transverse charge densities in the nucleon and the nucleon-to-$Δ$ transitiontext
