Nucleon resonance electrocouplings from the CLAS data on charged double pion electroproduction.
ORAL
Abstract
Measurements of charged double pion (2$\pi$) electroproduction off protons with CLAS [1-3] provided the most extensive experimental data set of nine 1-fold differential cross sections. Phenomenological analysis of these data was carried out within the framework of model [4] in the kinematic range: 1.3 $<$ $W$ $<$ 1.8 GeV and 0.25 $<$ $Q^{2}$ $<$ 1.5 GeV$^2$. A successful description of all observables was achieved, allowing us to establish all essential contributing mechanisms, consisting of various meson-baryon isobar channels, direct 2$\pi$ production, and to isolate the resonant parts of the cross sections. For the first time electrocouplings of the $P_{11}(1440)$ and $D_{13}(1520)$ states were obtained in studies of 2$\pi$ electroproduction. Good agreement with the previous results [5] obtained from studies of $\pi^{+}n$ and $\pi^{0}p$ electroproduction channels show that these electrocouplings can be evaluated reliably. The CLAS 2$\pi$ data allowed us to determine electrocouplings for several high lying $N^{*}$ states (M $>$ 1.65 GeV), that have major hadronic decays with 2$\pi$ emission. The information on amplitudes of contributing non-resonant mechanisms will be used in future $N^*$ studies in a global multi-channel analysis under development at EBAC [6].
