Abstract

Models of baryon structure predict a small quadrupole deformation of the nucleon due to residual tensor forces between quarks or distortions from the pion cloud. Sensitivity to quark versus pion degrees of freedom occurs through the [Formula presented] dependence of the magnetic [Formula presented], electric [Formula presented], and scalar [Formula presented] multipoles in the [Formula presented] transition. We report new experimental values for the ratios [Formula presented] and [Formula presented] over the range [Formula presented], extracted from precision [Formula presented] data using a truncated multipole expansion. Results are best described by recent unitary models in which the pion cloud plays a dominant role.
