Extraction of Transition Form Factors for Nucleon Resonances within a Coupled-Channels Model

Understand

We explain how an analytic continuation we have developed recently is applied to determine the residues of the nucleon resonance poles within a dynamical coupled-channel model of meson-baron reactions.

• A procedure for evaluating the electromagnetic N-N^* transition form factors at resonance poles is developed.
• Illustrative results of the obtained N^* -> pi N, gamma N transition form factors for P_{11}, P_{33}, and D_{13} nucleon resonances are presented and compared with previous results.
