摘要
Calculations of helicity amplitudes for the low-lying nucleon resonances are displayed based on a non-relativistic constituent quark model with a harmonic oscillator confinement. The explicit effect of quark confinement is shown. Our results show that the effect plays sizable role on some transition amplitudes of S11 (1535) and D13(1520) resonances. The effect on the △(1232) transition amplitudes is less than 10%. However, the effect on the Roper resonance is remarkable but is inconclusive.
