Description

The interference term between s- and t-pole contributions to the p(e,e'π+)n cross section is evaluated on the basis of the constituent quark model. It is shown that the contribution of baryon s-poles can be modeled by a nonlocal extension of the Kroll-Ruderman contact term. This contribution is in a destructive interference with the pion t-pole that is essential to improve the description of recent JLab data at the invariant mass W=1.95 GeV. Some predictions are made for a new JLab measurement at higher values W=2.1-2.3 GeV and Q2 centered at 1.6 and 2.45 GeV2/c2
