Abstract
The Roper resonance, the first excited state of the nucleon, Is one of the best-established baryon resonances. Yet, its properties have not been consistently explained by effective models of QCD, such as the non-relativistic quark model. In this letter, we propose an alternative approach in the Sakai-Sugimoto model that is one of the holographic models of QCD. In particular, we analyze the helicity amplitude of the electromagnetic transitions at the leading of 't~Hooft coupling $1/\lambda$. The model incorporates baryon structure at short distance by non-linear mesons surrounded by meson clouds at long distance. We demonstrate that the recently observed data by CLAS are explained in the present approach.
