Abstract:
A parameter-free evaluation of the electromagnetic transition form factors is performed within a light-front constituent quark model, using for the first time the eigenfunctions of a mass operator which generates a large amount of configuration mixing in baryon wave functions. A one-body electromagnetic current, which includes the phenomenological constituent quark form factors already determined from an analysis of pion and nucleon experimental data, is adopted. For up to few , at variance with the enhancement found in the elastic channel, the effect of configuration mixing results in a significant suppression of the calculated helicity amplitudes with respect to both relativistic and non-relativistic calculations, based on a simple gaussian-like ansatz for the baryon wave functions.- 13.60.Rj
