Quark-Hadron Duality and $γ^* p \to Δ$ Form Factors

We use local quark-hadron duality to estimate the purely nonperturbative soft contribution to the $γ^*p\to Δ$ form factors. Our results are in agreement with existing experimental data. We predict that the ratio $G_E^*(Q^2)/G_M^*(Q^2)$ is small for all accessible $Q^2$, in contrast to the pQCD expectations that $G_E^*(Q^2)\to -G_M^*(Q^2)$.
