Chiral-odd structure of the $N \to Δ$ transition: tensor form factors from QCD light-cone sum rules

We report the first calculation of the tensor transition form factors of the $N \to Δ$ transition within QCD light-cone sum rules, and use them to construct the transverse multipole structure of this chiral-odd transition. The matrix element of the tensor current between the nucleon and $Δ$ states r
