Connection between the elastic GEp/GMp and P to Delta form factors
It is suggested that the falloff in Qsq of the P to Delta magnetic form
factor GM* is related to the recently observed falloff of the elastic electric
form factor GEp/GMp. Calculation is carried out in the framework of a GPD
mechanism
Mean parity of single quantum excitation of some optical fields in thermal environments
The mean parity (the Wigner function at the origin) of excited binomial
states, excited coherent states and excited thermal states in thermal channel
is investigated in details. It is found that the single-photon excited binomial
state and the single-photon excited coherent state exhibit certain similarity
in the aspect of their mean parity in the thermal channel. We show the negative
mean parity can be regarded as an indicator of nonclassicality of single-photon
excitation of optical fields with a little coherence, especially for the
single-photon excited thermal states.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, RevTex4; PACS numbers: 42.50.Dv, 03.65.Yz,

Linear amplification and quantum cloning for non-Gaussian continuous variables
We investigate phase-insensitive linear amplification at the quantum limit
for single- and two-mode states and show that there exists a broad class of
non-Gaussian states whose nonclassicality survives even at an arbitrarily large
gain. We identify the corresponding observable nonclassical effects and find
that they include, remarkably, two-mode entanglement. The implications of our
results for quantum cloning outside the Gaussian regime are also addressed.Comment: published version with reference updat
Phase properties of hypergeometric states and negative hypergeometric states
We show that the three quantum states (Plya states, the
generalized non-classical states related to Hahn polynomials and negative
hypergeometric states) introduced recently as intermediates states which
interpolate between the binomial states and negative binomial states are
essentially identical. By using the Hermitial-phase-operator formalism, the
phase properties of the hypergeometric states and negative hypergeometric
states are studied in detail. We find that the number of peaks of phase
probability distribution is one for the hypergeometric states and for the
negative hypergeometric states.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
The Role of the D13 (1520) Resonance in eta Electroproduction
We investigate the electroproduction of eta mesons below a center of momentum
energy of 1.6 GeV, with particular emphasis on the roles of the N*(1535) and
N*(1520) resonances. Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we show that the
transverse helicity amplitude of the N*(1535) can be extracted with good
accuracy from the new eta electroproduction data, under reasonable assumptions
for the strength of the longitudinal helicity amplitude. In addition, although
the differential cross section is found to to have a small sensitivity to the
N*(1520) resonance, it is shown that a recently completed double polarization
experiment is very sensitive to this resonance.Comment: 7 pages, Revtex, 3 figure
States interpolating between number and coherent states and their interaction with atomic systems
Using the eigenvalue definition of binomial states we construct new
intermediate number-coherent states which reduce to number and coherent states
in two different limits. We reveal the connection of these intermediate states
with photon-added coherent states and investigate their non-classical
properties and quasi-probability distributions in detail. It is of interest to
note that these new states, which interpolate between coherent states and
number states, neither of which exhibit squeezing, are nevertheless squeezed
states. A scheme to produce these states is proposed. We also study the
interaction of these states with atomic systems in the framework of the
two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model, and describe the response of the atomic
system as it varies between the pure Rabi oscillation and the collapse-revival
mode and investigate field observables such as photon number distribution,
entropy and the Q-function.Comment: 26 pages, 29 EPS figures, Latex, Accepted for publication in J.Phys.
Theory Support for the Excited Baryon Program at the Jlab 12 GeV Upgrade
This document outlines major directions in theoretical support for the
measurement of nucleon resonance transition form factors at the JLab 12 GeV
upgrade with the CLAS12 detector. Using single and double meson production,
prominent resonances in the mass range up to 2 GeV will be studied in the range
of photon virtuality up to 12 GeV where quark degrees of freedom are
expected to dominate. High level theoretical analysis of these data will open
up opportunities to understand how the interactions of dressed quarks create
the ground and excited nucleon states and how these interactions emerge from
QCD. The paper reviews the current status and the prospects of QCD based model
approaches that relate phenomenological information on transition form factors
to the non-perturbative strong interaction mechanisms, that are responsible for
resonance formation.Comment: 52 pages, 19 figures, White Paper of the Electromagnetic N-N*

Generating and Revealing a Quantum Superposition of Electromagnetic Field Binomial States in a Cavity
We introduce the -photon quantum superposition of two orthogonal
generalized binomial states of electromagnetic field. We then propose, using
resonant atom-cavity interactions, non-conditional schemes to generate and
reveal such a quantum superposition for the two-photon case in a single-mode
high- cavity. We finally discuss the implementation of the proposed schemes.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Title changed (published version
Roper excitation in reactions
We calculate differential cross sections and the spin transfer coefficient
in the reaction for proton
bombarding energies from 1 to 10 GeV and invariant masses spanning
the region of the N(1440) Roper resonance. Two processes --
excitation in the -particle and Roper excitation in the proton -- are
included in an effective reaction model which was shown previously to reproduce
existing inclusive spectra. The present calculations demonstrate that these two
contributions can be clearly distinguished via , even under kinematic
conditions where cross sections alone exhibit no clear peak structure due to
the excitation of the Roper.Comment: 12 pages, 11 ps figures, Late
