Chiral Symmetry and the Nucleon Spin Structure Functions

چکیده
We carry out a systematic investigation of twist-two spin dependent structure functions of the nucleon within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model (CQSM) by paying special attention to the role of chiral symmetry of QCD. The importance of chiral symmetry is illustrated through the good reproduction of the recent SLAC data for the neutron spin structure function gn 1 (x,Q 2). We also observe substantial difference between the predictions of the longitudinally polarized distribution functions and those of the transversity distribution functions. That the chiral symmetry may be responsible for this difference is seen in the isospin dependence of the corresponding first moments, i.e. the axial and tensor charges. The CQSM predicts g (0) A /g (3) A ≃ 0.25 for the ratio of the isoscalar to isovector axial charges, while g (0) T /g (3) T ≃ 0.46 for the ratio of the isoscalar to isovector tensor charges, which should be compared with the prediction g (0) A /g (3) A = g (0) T /g (3) T = 3/5 of the constituent quark model or of the naive MIT bag model without proper account of chiral symmetry. Another prominent prediction of the CQSM is the opposite polarization of the ū and d̄ antiquarks, thereby indicating the SU(2) asymmetric sea quark (spin) polarization in the nucleon.

Chiral Symmetry and the Nucleon Structure Functions
The flavor asymmetry of the sea quark distribution as well as the unexpectedly small quark spin fraction of the nucleon are two outstanding discoveries recently made in the physics of deep-inelastic structure functions. We evaluate here the corresponding quark distribution functions within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model, which is an effective quark model of baryons maximally in...

The nucleon has been used as a laboratory to investigate its own spin structure and Quantum Chromodynamics. New experimental data on nucleon spin structure at low to intermediate momentum transfers combined with existing high momentum transfer data offer a comprehensive picture of the transition region from the confinement regime of the theory to its asymptotic freedom regime. Insight for some ...

Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave–functions while the charge operators have no (or only small) symmetry breaking components. In this framework we study the gA/gV ratios for hyperon beta–decay as well as the various quark flavor components of the axial charge of the nucleon and th...

The implications of Chiral Quark Model with SU(3) and axial U(1) symmetry breakings as well as configuration mixing generated by one gluon exchange forces (χQMgcm) are discussed in the context of proton flavor and spin structure as well as the hyperon β-decay data. Apart from reproducing the success of χQM with symmetry breaking, it is able to improve upon the agreement with data in several cas...

We study the nucleon-nucleon interaction in a chiral constituent quark model by using the resonating group method, convenient for treating the interaction between composite particles. The calculated phase shifts for the S1 and S0 channels show the presence of a strong repulsive core due to the combined effect of the quark interchange and the spin-flavour structure of the effective quark-quark i...
