Description

New high-precision measurements of p(γ-vector,π) and p(vector γ,γ) cross sections and beam asymmetries have been combined with other polarization ratios in a simultaneous analysis of both reactions. Compton scattering has provided two important new constraints on the photo-pion amplitude. The E2/M1 mixing ratio for the N→Δ transition extracted from this analysis is EMR=-3.0%±0.3(stat+sys)±0.2(mod el). (orig.)
