Watsons theorem and the $NDelta(1232)$ axial transition


Abstract in English

We present a new determination of the $NDelta$ axial form factors from neutrino induced pion production data. For this purpose, the model of Hernandez {it et al.} [Phys. Rev. D76, 033005 (2007)] is improved by partially restoring unitarity. This is accomplished by imposing Watsons theorem on the dominant vector and axial multipoles. As a consequence, a larger $C_5^A(0)$, in good agreement with the prediction from the off-diagonal Goldberger-Treiman relation, is now obtained.
