Abstract
Differential cross sections of the exclusive process 𝑒𝑝→𝑒′𝜋+𝑛 were measured with good precision in the range of the photon virtuality 𝑄2=1.8–4.5 GeV2 and the invariant mass range of the 𝜋+𝑛 final state 𝑊=1.6–2.0 GeV using the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility Large Acceptance Spectrometer. Data were collected with nearly complete coverage in the azimuthal and polar angles of the 𝑛𝜋+ center-of-mass system. More than 37 000 cross-section points were measured. The contributions of the isospin 𝐼=
