Light-Cone Meson-Baryon Fluctuations and Single-Spin Asymmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that energetically favored meson-baryon fluctuations present in the light-cone wavefunction of a transversely polarized proton can account for the left-right asymmetries measured in inclusive meson production processes.

The Quark / Antiquark Asymmetry of the Nucleon Sea ∗
Although the distributions of sea quarks and antiquarks generated by leadingtwist QCD evolution through gluon splitting g → qq are necessarily CP symmetric, the distributions of nonvalence quarks and antiquarks which are intrinsic to the nucleon’s bound state wavefunction need not be identical. In this paper we investigate the sea quark/antiquark asymmetries in the nucleon wavefunction which ar...

متن کاملThe Proton Spin Structure in a Light-cone Quark-spectator-diquark Model
It is shown that the proton spin problem raised by the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule violation does not in conflict with the SU(6) quark model, provided that the relativistic effect from the quark transversal motions, the flavor asymmetry between the u and d valence quarks, and the intrinsic quark-antiquark pairs generated by the nonperturbative meson-baryon fluctuations of the nucleon sea are taken int...
متن کاملAnalysis of heavy spin-3=2 baryon-heavy spin-1=2 baryon-light vector meson vertices in QCD
The heavy spin-3=2 baryon-heavy spin-1=2 baryon vertices with light vector mesons are studied within the light cone QCD sum rules method. These vertices are parametrized in terms of three coupling constants. These couplings are calculated for all possible transitions. It is shown that correlation functions for these transitions are described by only one invariant function for every Lorenz struc...
متن کاملBaryon Spin and Magnetic Moments in Relativistic Chiral Quark Models
The spin and flavor fractions of constituent quarks in the baryon octet are obtained from their lowest order chiral fluctuations involving Goldstone bosons. SU(3) breaking suggested by the mass difference between the strange and up, down quarks is included, as are relativistic effects by means of a light-cone quark model for the proton. Magnetic moments are analyzed and compared with the Karl-S...
