Strangeness in the Nucleon: the Strange Vector Form Factors
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss two descriptions of the nucleon’s strange vector form factors in the framework of vector meson dominance. The first, an updated and extended version of Jaffe’s dispersion analysis, approximates the spectral functions of the form factors as a sum of vector meson poles, whereas the second combines vector meson dominance in the ω and φ meson sector with an intrinsic strangeness distribution from a kaon cloud.

Strangeness in the Nucleon
There are several different experimental indications, such as the σπN term, strange spin polarization, strangeness contribution to the magnetic moment of the proton, ratio of strange and non strange quark flavor distributions which suggest that the nucleon contains a hidden strangeness component which is contradictory to the naive constituent quark model. Chiral constituent quark model with con...
متن کاملStrangeness in the Nucleon on the Light - Cone
Strange matrix elements of the nucleon are calculated within the light-cone formulation of the meson cloud model. The Q 2 dependence of the strange vector and axial vector form factors is computed, and the strangeness radius and magnetic moment extracted, both of which are found to be very small and slightly negative. Within the same framework one finds a small but non-zero excess of the antist...
متن کاملNucleon Vector Strangeness Form Factors : Multi - pion Continuum and the OZI Rule
We estimate the 3π continuum contribution to the nucleon strange quark vector current form factors, including the effect of 3π ↔ ρπ and 3π ↔ ω resonances. We find the magnitude of this contribution to be comparable to that the lightest strange intermediate states. We also study the isoscalar electromagnetic form factors, and find that the presence of a ρπ resonance in the multi-pion continuum m...
متن کاملThe Strangeness Radius and Magnetic Moment of the Nucleon Revisited
We update Jaffe’s estimate of the strange isoscalar radius and magnetic moment of the nucleon. We make use of a recent dispersion–theoretical fit to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors and an improved description of symmetry breaking in the vector nonet. We find μs = −0.24 ± 0.03 n.m. and r2 s = 0.21 ± 0.03 fm2. The strange formfactor F s 2 (t) follows a dipole with a cut–off mass of 1.46 ...
متن کاملStranger Still: Kaon Loops and Strange Quark Matrix Elements of the Nucleon*
Intrinsic strangeness contributions to low-energy strange quark matrix elements of the nucleon are modelled using kaon loops and meson-nucleon vertex functions taken from nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon scattering. A comparison with pion loop contributions to the nucleon electromagnetic (EM) form factors indicates the presence of significant SU(3)-breaking in the mean-square charge radii. A...
