Abstract

We present the first measurement of Ainel, the parity-violating asymmetry in electron scattering from the proton to the Δ resonance, as well as the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in π− photoproduction from the deuteron. Ainel depends on the axial transition form factor GANΔ, which has never been measured in a neutral current process. The asymmetry in pion photoproduction is sensitive to dΔ, a hypothesized parity-violating electric dipole matrix element, which arises from axial-vector radiative corrections. The result for Ainel is in Agreement with theoretical expectation, but is not precise enough to extract information on GANΔ. The pion photoproduction measurement yields a result for dΔ consistent with zero, and which does not favor very large enhancements over the “natural” scale for this matrix element.
