Abstract

Recently obtained polarized target and photon asymmetry data in eta photoproduction are shown to be very powerful, in conjunction with the differential cross-section data, in yielding model-insensitive constraints on the electrostrong parameters for the excitation and decay of the N*(1520) resonance. The extracted ratio of its electromagnetic helicity amplitudes, A3/2/A1/2, provides a critical test for the QCD-inspired hadron models.
