Exclusive $\pi^{\circ}$ and $\eta$ electro-production at high $Q^2$ in the resonance region

At Jefferson Lab in Hall C, measurements of exclusive $p(e,e^{\prime}p)X$ with $X=\pi^{\circ}$,$\eta$ cross sections were performed for a beam energy of 5.5~GeV. Electrons were detected in the Short Orbit Spectrometer (SOS) at angles of 47.5$^{\circ}$ and 70$^{\circ}$ with a range of invariant mass, W, between meson threshold and 1.8~GeV. The outgoing protons were detected at a range of angles and momentum so that all center of mass angles were covered for most of the W range. The $p(e,e^{\prime}p)\pi^{\circ}$ data was centered at $Q^2 = 6.4 $ and 7.7 GeV$^2$ and the magnetic transition form factor, $G_M^{\star}$, for the $\Delta(1235)$ resonance was extracted from the cross section data. The $p(e,e^{\prime}p)\eta$ data is dominated by the $S_{11}(1535)$ resonance and the helicity conserving transition amplitude, $A_{1/2}$, for the $S_{11}$ was extracted at $Q^2 = 5.7 $ and 7.0 GeV$^2$. These results are at the highest $Q^2$ ever measured and will be discussed in the context of current theoretical models.
