Radiative decay of the Delta(1700)

Abstract

Electromagnetic properties provide information about the structure of strongly interacting systems and allow for independent tests of hadronic models. The radiative decay of the Delta(1700) is studied, which appears dynamically generated in a coupled channel approach from the rescattering of the (3/2^+) decuplet of baryons with the (0^-) octet of pseudoscalar mesons. The radiative decay is predicted from the well-known couplings of the photon to the mesons and hadrons which constitute this resonance in the dynamical picture.
