N to Delta electromagnetic transition form factors from Lattice QCD

The magnetic dipole, the electric quadrupole and the Coulomb quadrupole amplitudes for the transition $\gamma N\to \Delta$ are evaluated in lattice QCD. Unquenching effects are studied using two dynamical Wilson fermions. The dipole transition form factor is accurately determined at several values o...

Sumario:The magnetic dipole, the electric quadrupole and the Coulomb quadrupole amplitudes for the transition $\gamma N\to \Delta$ are evaluated in lattice QCD. Unquenching effects are studied using two dynamical Wilson fermions. The dipole transition form factor is accurately determined at several values of momentum transfer. The electric quadrupole amplitude is found to be non-zero yielding a negative value for the ratio,$ R_{EM}$, of electric quadrupole to magnetic dipole amplitudes given in the chiral limit at three values of momenta transfer.
