Dynamical models do not describe quantities governed by imaginary parts of interference products well, indicating the need for adjusting magnitudes and phases for nonresonant amplitudes. We performed a nearly model-independent multipole analysis and obtained values for Re (S1+/M1+)=-(6.84±0.15)% and Re (E1+/M1+)=-(2.91±0.19)% that are distinctly different from those from the traditional Legendre analysis based upon M1+ dominance and ℓπ≤1 truncation.en-USrecoil polarizationpion electroproductionArticle
