Abstract
We present a calculation of the $N$ to $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ electromagnetic transition amplitudes using the method of QCD sum rules. A complete set of QCD sum rules is derived for the entire family of transitions from the baryon octet to decuplet. They are analyzed in conjunction with the corresponding mass sum rules using a Monte Carlo-based analysis procedure. The performance of each of the sum rules is examined using the criteria of operator product expansion convergence and ground-state dominance, along with the role of the transitions in intermediate states. Individual contributions from the $u$, $d$, and $s$ quarks are isolated and their implications in the underlying dynamics are explored. Valid sum rules are identified and their predictions are obtained. The results are compared with experiment and other calculations.
