Baryon Form Factors

چکیده
Poincaré covariant quark models of the the nucleon, the ∆ resonance and their excitations are explored. The baryon states are represented by eigenfunctions of the four-velocity and a confining mass operator, which reproduces the empirical spectrum up to ∼ 1700 MeV to an accuracy of ∼ 6%. Models of constituent quark currents provide the relations between ground-state properties and transition amplitudes.

Baryon masses in a chiral expansion with meson-baryon form factors
The chiral expansion of the one-loop corrections to baryon masses is examined in a generic meson-cloud model with meson-baryon form factors. For pion loops, the expansion is rapidly convergent and at fourth order inmπ accurately reproduces the full integral. In contrast, the expansion is found to converge very slowly for kaon loops, raising questions about the usefulness of chiral expansions fo...
متن کاملBaryon form factors in chiral perturbation theory
We analyze the electromagnetic form factors of the ground state baryon octet to fourth order in relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory. Predictions for the Σ charge radius and the Λ–Σ0 transition moment are found to be in excellent agreement with the available experimental information. Furthermore, the convergence behavior of the hyperon charge radii is shown to be more than satisfactory.
متن کاملBaryon Form Factors in QCD
The form factors of baryons have long been studied in electron scattering, and now we are here to discuss new opportunities that can come from an e+e− collider at moderate energies where exclusive cross sections may be measured. One can foresee measurements of the form factors of baryons in the timelike region. The richness of these measurements should be clear. We can in principle measure the ...
متن کاملWeak form factors for semileptonic octet baryon decays in the chiral quark model
We study the weak vector and axial-vector form factors of firstand second-class currents for the semileptonic octet baryon decays in the spirit of the chiral quark model. Our results for the weak magnetism form factors are consistent with the conserved vector current (CVC) results. The induced pseudotensor form factors, which are highly model dependent, are small. The overall performance of the...
متن کاملBaryon form factors : Model – independent results ∗
Baryon form factors can be analyzed in a largely model–independent fashion in terms of two complementary approaches. These are chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I review the status of dispersive calculations of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors in the light of new data. Then, I present the leading one–loop chiral perturbation theory analysis of the hyperon and the stra...
متن کاملExactly Solvable Models of Baryon Structure
We present a qualitative analysis of the gross features of baryon spec-troscopy (masses and form factors) in terms of various exactly solvable models. It is shown that a collective model, in which baryon resonances are interpreted as rotations and vibrations of an oblate symmetric top, provides a good starting point for a more detailed quantitative study.
