Constraining the $(\gamma ,\pi )$ amplitudes for E2 $N\to \Delta$

Abstract

We reply to the Comment of A.M. Sandorfi et al. [nucl-th/9707028] on the E2/M1 ratio from the Mainz photoproduction data, nucl-th/9707028 v2. We support our published result for the E2/M1 ratio of REM = -(2.5 +- 0.2 +- 0.2)%.
