The transition helicity amplitudes from the proton ground state to the $N(1440)1/2^+$, $N(1520)3/2^-$, and $\Delta(1620)1/2^-$ resonances ($\gamma_vpN^*$ electrocouplings) were determined from the analysis of nine independent one-fold…
We investigate the transition form factors between nucleon and $\Delta$(1232) particles by using a covariant quark-spectator-diquark field theory model in (3+1) dimensions. Performing a light-front calculation in parallel with the…
The electromagnetic excitation of the nucleon resonances is studied in the framework of Constituent Quark Models. Particular attention is devoted to the transition to the $\Delta$ resonance and to the issue of a possible deformation of…
The meson-photon transition form factors $\gamma\gamma^*\to P$ ($P$ stands for $\pi$, $\eta$ and $\eta'$) provide strong constraints on the distribution amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons. In this paper, these transition form factors are…
We investigate the $N^{\ast}(1535)\rightarrow N\gamma$ transition in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules. In particular, using the most general form of the interpolating current for the nucleon as well as the distribution amplitudes…
We extend a covariant model, tested before in the spacelike region for the physical and lattice QCD regimes, to a calculation of the gamma* N -> Delta reaction in the timelike region, where the square of the transfered momentum, q^2, is…
Recent measurements of nucleon resonance transition form factors with CLAS at Jefferson Lab are discussed. The new data resolve a long-standing puzzle of the nature of the Roper resonance, and confirm the assertion of the symmetric…
We perform a perturbative QCD analysis of the nucleon's Pauli form factor $F_2(Q^2)$ in the asymptotically large $Q^2$ limit. We find that the leading contribution to $F_2(Q^2)$ has a $1/Q^6$ power behavior, consistent with the well-known…
We discuss electromagnetic currents in the point-form formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics. The construction is along a spectator model and implies that only one quark is explicitly coupled to the photon, but nevertheless many-body…
The study of the $\gamma^* N\rightarrow \Delta$ reaction presents the best quantitative method to explore the deviation of hadron shapes from spherical symmetry (nonspherical amplitudes). Significant non-spherical electric (E2) and Coulomb…
The three electromagnetic form factors of the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance, $G^*_M(q^2)$, $G^*_E(q^2)$, and $G^*_C(q^2)$ are obtained in the space-like region using a Dual Resonance Model realization of QCD in the large $N_c$ limit…
The reactions of $K \Sigma(1385)$ photoproduction, i.e., $\gamma p \to K^+ \Sigma^0(1385)$ and $\gamma n \to K^+ \Sigma^-(1385)$, are investigated in the resonance energy region for studying the role of the nucleon and $\Delta$ resonances…
A behavior of the nucleon structure functions in the resonance region is investigated. Expressions for resonance production form factors, dependent on photon virtuality $Q^2$, which have correct threshold behavior and take into account…
The nucleon resonances near 2 GeV are investigated through the $\Sigma$(1385) and $\Lambda(1520)$ photoproductions within a Regge-plus-resonance approach based on the new experimental data released by the CLAS Collaboration. The…
We present a leading-order pQCD calculation of the helicity-flip $\Delta\to N\gamma^*$ matrix element $G_0$ (Coulomb quadrupole amplitude $C2$), taking into account the transverse momenta of the quarks and the contribution from the gluons.…
We report on the recent results of the hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM). The model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction which is inspired by Lattice QCD calculations and reproduces the average energy values of the…
In this work, we perform a study of nucleon resonance production in the $\gamma p \to p\eta\phi$ reaction within an effective Lagrangian approach. In our model, we consider the excitation of the $N^*(1535)$, $N^*(1650)$, $N^*(1710)$ and…
We derive simple relations between the polarized and unpolarized valence quark distributions in a light-cone SU(6) quark-spectator model for nucleons. The explicit x-dependent Wigner rotation effect for the light-flavor quarks is…
In this paper, we present our study on the $\eta$ photoproduction based on the chiral quark model. We find that quark model provides a very good description of the $\eta$ production with much less parameters, and the threshold region is not…
We study the radiative decays B -> V gamma (where V=rho, K^*) in the framework of QCD factorisation, and in particular the hard-spectator contributions to the decay amplitudes. For the phenomenologically significant chromomagnetic operator,…
