Light-front CQM calculations of baryon electromagnetic form factors

Abstract

The parameter-free predictions for the $N-P_{11}(1440)$ and $N-P_{33}(1232)$ electromagnetic transition form factors, obtained within our light-front constituent quark model using eigenfunctions of a baryon mass operator which includes a large amount of configuration mixing, are reported. The effects due to small components in the baryon wave functions, such as S'- and D-wave, are also investigated.
