Spin structure of the Delta(1232) and inelastic Compton scattering

Radiative transitions gamma + Delta(1232) -> N^* are discussed in the nonrelativistic quark model with spin-orbit corrections for the 70-plet L^P=1^- nucleon resonances N^*. The reaction gamma + N -> gamma + Delta is considered as a tool to measure some of these transitions. A particular sensitivity to photoexcitations of S_{11}(1535), D_{13}(1700), and D_{15}(1675) is predicted.
