Title: Exclusive π 0 p electroproduction off protons in the resonance region at photon virtualities 0.4 GeV 2 Q 2 1 GeV 2

Abstract

The limited electroproduction process e p e ' p ' π 0 was measured in the range of photon virtualities Q 2 = 0.4 1.0 GeV 2 and the invariant mass range of the p π 0 system of W = 1.1 1.8 GeV. These kinematics are covered in exclusive π 0 electroproduction off the proton with nearly complete angular coverage in the p π 0 center-of-mass system and with high statistical accuracy. Nearly 36 000 cross-section points were measured, and the structure functions σ T + ε σ L , σ L T , and σ T T , were extracted via fitting the φ π 0 dependence of the cross section. A Legendre polynomial expansion analysis demonstrates the sensitivity of our data to high-lying N * and Δ * resonances with M > 1.6 GeV. As part of a broad effort to determine the electrocouplings of the N * and Δ * resonances using both single- and double-pion electroproduction, this dataset is key for the reliable extraction of the high-lying resonance electrocouplings from the combined isospin analysis of the N π and π + π - p channels.
