Induced Proton Polarization For Pi(0) Electroproduction At Q(2)=0.126 Gev2/C(2) Around The Delta(1232) Resonance

We present a measurement of the induced proton polarization P-n in pi(0) electroproduction on the proton around the Delta resonance. The measurement was made at a central invariant mass and a squared four-momentum transfer of W=1231 MeV and Q(2)=0.126 GeV2/c(2), respectively. We measured a large induced polarization, P-n = -0.397 +/- 0.055 +/- 0.009. The data suggest that the scalar background is larger than expected from a recent effective Hamiltonian model.
