Some More Terminology<br />

Isospin is introduced to describe proton and<br />

neutron (later u- and d-quarks) as two different<br />

“polarization” states of one particle<br />

Multipole amplitudes: Similar to classical EM, the<br />

full amplitude can be decomposed in multipoles<br />

E 0, M 0, S 1, E 1, M 1 etc … (amplitudes too)<br />

Photocoupling amplitudes A 1/2, A 3/2, S 1/2 for an<br />

excited state give the probability (and the phase)<br />

of exciting such a state from proton and photon<br />

with specified combined helicity.
