Magnetic moment of the S11 (1535) resonance Original Research Article

The γp å γηp reaction in the S11(1535) resonance region is investigated as a method to access the S11 (1535) magnetic dipole moment. To study the feasibility, we perform calculations of the γp → γηp process within an effective Lagrangian approach containing both the S11 resonant mecanism and a background of non-resonant contributions. Predictions are made for the forthcoming experiments. In particular, we focus on the sensitivity of cross sections and photon asymmetries to the S11 (1535) magnetic dipole moment.
