Electromagnetic transition properties of Δ → Nγ in a hypercentral scheme

Abstract

The electromagnetic transition properties of the decuplet to octet baryon (Δ → Nγ) is studied within the framework of a hypercentral quark model. The confinement potential is assumed as a hypercentral coloumb plus linear potential. The transition magnetic moment and transition amplitude f M1 for the Δ → Nγ are in agreement with other theoretical predictions. The present result of the radiative decay width is found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental values reported by the particle data group over other theoretical model predictions. © 2012 Chinese Physical Society and the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and IOP Publishing Ltd.
