On Reconciling Gottfried Sum Rule Violation with Cabibbo Theory†
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the seemingly contradictory constraints of simultaneously preserving the SU(3)-symmetric Cabibbo description of the weak vector baryon matrix elements, accounting for SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking and describing the observed violation of the Gottfried Sum Rule. We try to construct a simple model that will satisfy these constraints and use it to explain the generic difficulties and tradeoffs.

Puzzles in Hyperon, Charm and Beauty Physics
Puzzles awaiting better experiments and better theory include: (1) the contradiction between good and bad SU(3) baryon wave functions in fitting Cabibbo theory for hyperon decays, strangeness suppression in the sea and the violation of the Gottfried Sum rule no model fits all; (2) Anomalously enhanced Cabibbo-suppressed D → K(sd̄) decays; (3) anomalously enhanced and suppressed B → ηX decays; (4...
متن کاملNucleon Spin with and without Hyperon Data: A New Tool for Analysis†
We present a simple explanation of the underlying physics in the use of hyperon decay data to obtain information about proton spin structure. We also present an alternative input using nucleon magnetic moment data and show that the results from the two approaches are nearly identical. The role of symmetry breaking is clarified while pointing out that simple models explaining the violation of th...
متن کاملAnomalous Evolution of the Gottfried Sum
We discuss nonperturbative QCD evolution of nonsinglet nucleon structure functions, with particular application to the Gottfried sum. We show that the coupling of the quark partons to bound state mesons leads to nonperturbative contributions to the Altarelli– Parisi equations which, due to the axial anomaly, result in a strong scale dependence of nonsinglet structure functions for values of Q a...

Distortions in the negative energy Dirac sea: violation of the Gottfried sum rule and ∆¯ u in proton We report on recent work concerning the effect which the change in vacuum structure (negative energy Dirac sea), in the presence of a confining scalar field, has on the nucleon structure functions and parton distributions. Using the Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions, we show that distortions in t...
متن کاملD ec 1 99 3 Vacuum QCD and new information on nucleon structure functions
It is shown, that specific chirality and flavor properties of the instanton-induced interaction allow us to explain the observed violation Ellis-Jaffe and Gottfried sum rules. A large value of these violations originates from the anomalous growth of the instanton-induced interaction between quarks at high energy. The new sum rule which connect the values of violations of Ellis-Jaffe and Gottfri...
