Title: Electromagnetic structure of the Delta baryon within the covariant spectator theory

Conference · · Few-Body Systems (online) 13 December 2010

We calculated all the electromagnetic observables for the nucleon and its lowest-lying Delta(1232) excitation within a constituent quark model for those two baryons based on the covariant spectator theory. Once the reactions gamma N \to N and gamma N \to Delta were described, we predicted without further adjusting of parameters the four electromagnetic Delta form factors: the electric charge G_{E0}, the magnetic dpole G_{M1}, the electric quadrupole G_{E2} and the magnetic octupole G_{M3}. The results are compatible with the available experimental data and recent lattice QCD data.
