Parity-violating effects in electroproduction of theΔ(1232)by polarized electrons

subject

description

Parity-violating effects in the (quasi)elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from spin-\textonehalf{} targets are discussed in the framework of the unified guage theories of weak and electromagnetic interactions. In particular, the $R\ensuremath{-}L$ asymmetry in electroproduction of the $\ensuremath{\Delta}(1232)$ is studied in considerable detail, taking into account the full spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ structure of this resonance. Our results are valid for all values of $E$ and the entire range of ${Q}^{2}$. Numerical predictions are given for the standard Weinberg-Salam model at several energies of the electron beam.
