Title: Neutral pion electroproduction in the resonance region at high Q 2

Journal Article · · Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The process ep {yields} ep{pi}{sup 0} has been measured at Q{sup 2} = 6.4 and 7.7 (GeV/c{sup 2}){sup 2} in Jefferson Lab's Hall C. Unpolarized differential cross sections are reported in the virtual photon-proton center-of-mass frame considering the process {gamma}*p {yields} p{pi}{sup 0}. Various details relating to the background subtractions, radiative corrections, and systematic errors are discussed. The usefulness of the data with regard to the measurement of the electromagnetic properties of the well-known {Delta}(1232) resonance is covered in detail. Specifically considered are the electromagnetic and scalar-magnetic ratios R{sub EM} and R{sub SM} along with the magnetic transition form factor G*{sub M}. It is found that the rapid falloff of the {Delta}(1232) contribution continues into this region of momentum transfer and that other resonances may be making important contributions in this region.
