Abstract

We discuss the techniques to extract the electromagnetic ∆ form factors in Lattice QCD. We evaluate these form factors using dynamical fermions with smallest Pion mass of about 350 MeV. We pay particular attention to the extraction of the electric quadrupole form factor that signals a deformation of the ∆. The magnetic moment of the ∆ is extrapolated using a chiral effective field theory. Using the form factors we evaluate the transverse density distributions in the infinite momentum frame showing deformation in the ∆.
