$\gamma^\ast N \to N(1535)$ transition form factors

Abstract

The form factors, as well as the helicity amplitudes for the $\gamma^\ast N \to N(1535)$ transition are calculated in framework of the QCD light cone sum rules. The contamination coming from diagonal transition is eliminated by considering combinations of the sum rules corresponding to different Lorentz structures. Similar procedure is applied for determination of the residue and mass of the negative parity baryon. Comparison of our predictions on the helicity amplitudes with the existing theoretical and experimental results is also presented.
