Abstract

The transition helicity amplitudes from the proton ground state to the P₁₁(1440) and D₁₃(1520) excited states (v_γpN* electrocouplings) were determined from the analysis of nine independent one-fold differential π⁺π⁻p electroproduction cross sections off a proton target, taken with CLAS at photon virtualities of 0.25 < Q² < 0.60 GeV². The phenomenological reaction model was employed for separation of the resonant and nonresonant contributions to the final state. The P₁₁(1440) and D₁₃(1520) electrocouplings were obtained from the resonant amplitudes parametrized within the framework of a unitarized Breit-Wigner ansatz. They are consistent with results obtained in the previous CLAS analyses of the π⁺n and π⁰p channels. The successful description of a large body of data in dominant meson-electroproduction channels off protons with the same γ_vpN* electrocouplings offers clear evidence for the reliable extraction of these fundamental quantities from meson-electroproduction data. This analysis also led to the determination of the long-awaited hadronic branching ratios for the D₁₃(1520) decay into Δπ(24%–32%) and Nρ (8%–17%).
