Abstract

Regge-pole based descriptions of pion-electroproduction on nucleons have given a very good description of the longitudinal components of the cross sections. However, these very same models grossly underestimate the transverse components. A related problem appears in QCD-based scaling arguments that predict the predominance of longitudinal over transverse electroproduction of pions by terms Q2\propto Q^2. However, data from JLAB, Cornell and DESY, covering a wide kinematical range 1<Q2<11GeV21 < Q^2 < 11\, {\rm GeV}^2 and 2GeV<W<4GeV2\, {\rm GeV} < W < 4\, {\rm GeV}, do not show this expected behavior. We address here this issue of the transverse response in pion-electroproduction by considering the contributions of high-lying (W>2W > 2 GeV) nucleon resonances to pion production. The coupling strengths and form factors are obtained through resonance-parton duality. We show that in a wide range of electron energies and four-momentum transfers such a model describes all the available data very well.
