Abstract

We calculate the electromagnetic, axial and pseudo-scalar form factors of the Nucleon to Δ(1232)\Delta(1232) 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 a=0.114a = 0.114 fm and a=0.084a=0.084 fm, with corresponding pion masses of 330330 MeV and 297297 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, REMR_{EM} and RSMR_{SM}, measured in experiment.
