Abstract

We have extended a model for the γN→ ππN reaction to virtual photons and selected the diagrams which have a Δ in the final state. With this model we have evaluated cross sections for the virtual photon cross section as a function of Q 2 for different energies. The agreement found with the γ v p→ Δ 0 π + and γ v p→ Δ ++ π − reactions is good. The sensitivity of the results to NΔ transition form factors is also studied. The present reaction, selecting a particular final state, is an extra test for models of the γ v N→ ππN amplitude. The experimental measurement of the different isospin channels for this reaction are encouraged as a means to unravel the dynamics of the two pions photoproduction processes.
