Solving the nucleon spin puzzle based on the chiral quark soliton model
نویسنده
چکیده
An incomparable feature of the chiral quark soliton model as compared with many other effective models like the MIT bag model is that it can give reasonable predictions not only for quark distributions but also for antiquark distributions. This will be exemplified by the argument on the positivity constraint for ū(x) + d̄(x) as well as the Soffer inequality for quark and antiquark distributions. We also explain how the model can resolve the so-called nucleon spin puzzle without assuming large gluon polarization at the low energy scale.

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...
متن کاملSpin and Orbital Angular Momentum Distribution Functions of the Nucleon
A theoretical prediction is given for the spin and orbital angular momentum distribution functions of the nucleon within the framework of an effective quark model of QCD, i.e. the chiral quark soliton model. An outstanding feature of the model is that it predicts fairly small quark spin fraction of the nucleon ∆Σ ≃ 0.35, which in turn dictates that the remaining 65% of the nucleon spin is carri...
متن کاملMoments of generalized parton distribution functions and the nucleon spin contents
It is shown that, based only on two empirically known facts besides two reasonable theoretical postulates, we are inevitably led to a conclusion that the quark orbital angular momentum carries nearly half of the total nucleon spin. We also perform a model analysis to find that the quark spin fraction ∆Σ is extremely sensitive to the pion mass, which may resolve the discrepancy between the obser...
متن کاملLight flavor sea-quark asymmetry for the spin-dependent distribution functions of the nucleon
The theoretical predictions of the chiral quark soliton model for the unpolarized and longitudinally polarized structure functions of the nucleon are compared with recent high energy data. The theory is shown to explain all the qualitatively noticeable features of the existing experiments, including the light flavor sea-quark asymmetry for the unpolarized distribution functions established by t...
متن کاملOn the new COMPASS measurement of the deuteron spin - dependent structure function
Very recently, a new measurement of the deuteron spin-dependent structure function g d 1 (x) was reported by the COMPASS group. A main change from the old SMC measurement is a considerable improvement of the statistical accuracy in the low x region 0.004 < x < 0.03. We point out that the new COMPASS data for g d 1 (x) as well as their QCD fits for ∆Σ and ∆s + ∆¯ s are all remarkably close to ou...
