Within fixed-t dispersion relations the results of new VPI partial-wave analysis for the multipole amplitudes $M_{1+}^{3/2},E_{1+}^{3/2}$ are successfuly described, and the resonance and nonresonance contributions into these amplitudes are…
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 unitary isobar model MAID is used for a partial wave analysis of pion photoproduction and electroproduction data on the nucleon. In particular we have taken emphasis on the region of the Delta(1232) resonance and have separated the…
We calculate the ratios E2/M1 and C2/M1 for the electroproduction of the $\Delta$(1232) in the region of photon virtuality $0<-q^2<1$ GeV$^2$. The magnetic dipole amplitude M1 is also presented. The theory used is the chiral quark-soliton…
We develop an extension of chiral perturbation theory to the $\Delta$(1232)-resonance energy region and apply it to investigate the pion electroproduction off the nucleon ($e^- N \to e^- N\pi$). We present a complete calculation of this…
The E2/M1 ratio (EMR) of the $\Delta$(1232) is extracted from the world data in pion photoproduction by means of an Effective Lagrangian Approach (ELA).This quantity has been derived within a crossing symmetric, gauge invariant, and chiral…
We report new precise p$(\vec{e},e^\prime p)\pi^0$ measurements at the peak of the $\Delta^{+}(1232)$ resonance at $Q^2=\unit[0.20](GeV/c)^2$ performed at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI). The new data are sensitive to both the electric…
We measured angular distributions of differential cross section, beam analyzing power, and recoil polarization for neutral pion electroproduction at Q^2 = 1.0 (GeV/c)^2 in 10 bins of W across the Delta resonance. A total of 16 independent…

We measured angular distributions of recoil-polarization response functions for neutral pion electroproduction for W=1.23 GeV at Q^2=1.0 (GeV/c)^2, obtaining 14 separated response functions plus 2 Rosenbluth combinations; of these, 12 have…
We investigate the formation of resonances in the P33 partial wave with the emphasis on possible emergence of dynamically generated quasi-bound states as a consequence of a strong $p$-wave pion attractive interaction in this partial wave,…
Our recently proposed model of the $\Delta(1600)$ resonance, in which the dominant component is a quasi-bound state of the $\Delta(1232)$ and the pion, is confronted with a similar model of the $N^*(1440)$ resonance as its counterpart in…
The $\Delta(1232) \to \gamma^\ast N$ magnetic dipole form factor ($G_M^\ast$) is described here within a new covariant model that combines the valence quark core together with the pion cloud contributions. The pion cloud term is…
The recoil proton polarization in the $\pi^0$ production off the proton with longitudinally polarized electron beam has been studied as a means to measure quadrupole components in the N to $\Delta$ transition. On top of the $\Delta$…

Information on the intrinsic deformation of the proton can be obtained by studying the electromagnetic p-->Delta+ quadrupole transition. Recent experiments have shown that the electric quadrupole (E2) strength in gamma p --> Delta+ is about…
We consider here a manifestly covariant quark model of the nucleon and the Delta, where one quark is off-shell and the other two quarks form an on-shell diquark pair. Using this model, we have shown previously that the nucleon form factors…

Within the dynamical model of Refs. [Phys. Rev. C54, 2660 (1996); C63, 055201 (2001)], we perform an analysis of recent data of pion electroproduction reactions at energies near the Delta(1232) resonance. We discuss possible interpretations…
