    abstract = "We report new precise H(e,e(’)p)pi(0) measurements at the Delta(1232)
resonance at Q(2)=0.127 (GeV/c)(2) obtained at the MIT-Bates
out-of-plane scattering facility which are particularly sensitive to the
transverse electric amplitude (E2) of the gamma(*)N–>Delta
transition. The new data have been analyzed together with those of
earlier measurements to yield precise quadrupole to dipole amplitude
ratios: Re(E-1+(3/2)/M-1+(3/2))=(-2.3+/-0.3(stat+syst)+/-0.6(model))%
and Re(S-1+(3/2)/M-1+(3/2))=(-6.1+/-0.2(stat+syst)+/-0.5(model))% for
M-1+(3/2)=(41.4+/-0.3(stat+syst)+/-0.4(model))(10(-3)/m(pi)(+)). The
derived amplitudes give credence to the conjecture of deformation in
hadrons favoring, at low Q(2), the dominance of mesonic effects."
