Abstract
We calculate the ratios E2 M1 and C2 M1 of the multipole amplitudes for electroproduction of the Δ(1232) in the range of photon virtuality 0 < − K 2 < 1 GeV 2 in a chiral chromodielectric model and a linear σ-model. We find that relatively large experimental values can be explained in terms of the pion contribution alone; the contribution arising from d-state quark admixture remains below 10%. We describe the pion cloud as a coherent state and use spin and isospin projection to obtain the physical nucleon and the Δ. The A 1 2 and A 3 2 amplitudes are reasonably well reproduced in the σ-model; in the chromodielectric model, however, they are a factor of two too small.
