Baryon current matrix elements in a light-front framework
Baryon current matrix elements in a light-front framework
Current matrix elements and observables for electro- and photo-excitation of baryons from the nucleon are studied in a light-front framework. Relativistic effects are estimated by comparison to a nonrelativistic model, where we use simple basis states to represent the baryon wave functions. Sizeable relativistic effects are found for certain transitions, …
