Abstract

The three electromagnetic form factors of the Δ(1232)\Delta(1232) resonance, GM(q2)G^*_M(q^2), GE(q2)G^*_E(q^2), and GC(q2)G^*_C(q^2) are obtained in the space-like region using a Dual Resonance Model realization of QCD in the large NcN_c limit (Dual-QCD{QCD}_{\infty}). Each form factor involves a single free parameter which is fixed by fitting data on GM(q2)G^*_M(q^2), and on the ratios REM(q2)R_{EM}(q^2) and RSM(q2)R_{SM}(q^2). Good agreement with experiment is obtained for all three quantities. Results are then used to predict the q2q^2-dependence of the chiral effective-field theory form factors gM(q2)g_M(q^2), gE(q2)g_E(q^2), and gC(q2)g_C(q^2).
