Electroexcitation of nucleon resonances in the few GeV region

  • Published:

Abstract

Electromagneticp δ(1232) andpS 11(1535) transition form factors in the momentum transfer range 3 ≲Q 2≲ 20 GeV2 are investigated within the scope of perturbative QCD. Thereby baryons are considered as built up by quarks and spatially extended diquarks. The diquark parameters and the quark-diquark distribution amplitude of the nucleon are adopted from a previous study which already led to a consistent description of electromagnetic nucleon form factors and Compton scattering off nucleons. Results are presented for several choices of the resonance distribution amplitudes and confronted with data. Most noteworthy, we find that the diquark model may account for the experimentally observed strong deviation ofpδ electric and magnetic transition form factors from the asymptotic Q−4 behaviour.

  31. Frequently inclusivee-p data are analyzed in terms of a quantityQM/*(Q2), originally introduced by Ash et al. [31], which differs from our definition (3.19) of 438-01(Q2) by a threshold factor. In order to elucidate the dynamical scaling behaviour of inelastice-p scattering we however find it more appropriate to present the data in terms of 438-02 (Q 2), which is free of kinematical factors
