Abstract

We use a dispersion representation based on unitarity and analyticity to study the low energy γNπN\gamma^* N\rightarrow \pi N process in the S11S_{11} channel. Final state interactions among the πN\pi N system are critical to this analysis. The left-hand part of the partial wave amplitude is imported from O(p2)\mathcal{O}(p^2) chiral perturbation theory result. On the right-hand part, the final state interaction is calculated through Omn\`es formula in SS wave. It is found that a good numerical fit can be achieved with only one subtraction parameter, and the eletroproduction experimental data of multipole amplitudes E0+, S0+E_{0+},\ S_{0+} in the energy region below Δ(1232)\Delta(1232) are well described when the photon virtuality Q20.1GeV2Q^2 \leq 0.1 \mathrm{GeV}^2.
