Measurement of the Coulomb quadrupole amplitude in the γ*p→Δ(1232) reaction in the low momentum transfer region

David AnezSaint Mary’s/Dalhousie UniversityMay 14, 2011

Introduction

Took measurements of the p(e,e′p)π0 (pion electroproduction) reaction In the low Q2 region where the pion cloud is expected

to dominate With center-of-mass energies near the Δ resonance to

look at the transition amplitudes between the nucleon and the delta

To better understand the Coulomb quadrupole transition amplitude behavior in this region and how it affects nucleon deformation
