Pn. Shen et al., E2 M1 RATIO OF THE DELTA[--]GAMMA-N TRANSITION WITHIN THE CHIRAL CONSTITUENT QUARK-MODEL/, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 55(4), 1997, pp. 2024-2029
The chiral constituent quark model is applied to predict the magnetic
M1 and electric E2 amplitudes of the Delta<->gamma N transition. It is
found that the one-meson-exchange quark-quark potential due to the ch
iral fields enhances the E2/M1 ratio by a factor of about 2. The predi
cted M1+ amplitude and the E2/M1 ratio similar or equal to-1.0% are wi
thin the range determined from a recent analysis of the data of pion p
hotoproduction.
