  1. Measurement of the Coulomb quadrupole amplitude in the γ*p→Δ(1232) reaction in the low momentum transfer region David Anez Saint Mary’s/Dalhousie University May 14, 2011

  2. 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 David Anez – May 17th, 2011 2/15
