Nucleon to Delta transition form factors with $N_F=2+1$ domain wall fermions
Abstract
We calculate the electromagnetic, axial and pseudo-scalar form factors of the Nucleon to transition using two dynamical light degenerate quarks and a dynamical strange quark simulated with the domain wall fermion action. Results are obtained at lattice spacings fm and fm, with corresponding pion masses of MeV and MeV, respectively. High statistics measurements are achieved by utilizing the coherent sink technique. The dominant electromagnetic dipole form factor, the axial form factors and the pseudo-scalar coupling are extracted to a good accuracy. This allows the investigation of the non-diagonal Goldberger-Treiman relation. Particular emphasis is given on the extraction of the sub-dominant electromagnetic quadrupole form factors and their ratio to the dominant dipole form factor, and , measured in experiment.
