Flavor Symmetry Breaking and Strangeness in the Nucleon
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave–functions while the charge operators have no (or only small) explicit symmetry breaking components. We utilize the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models to support this picture. In particular we compute the gA/gV ratios for hyperon beta–decay and the strangeness contribution to the nucleon axial current matrix elements and analyze their variation with increasing flavor symmetry breaking.

Interactions between Octet Baryons in the SU 6 Quark model
The baryon-baryon interactions for the complete baryon octet (B8) are investigated in a unified framework of the resonating-group method, in which the spin-flavor SU6 quark-model wave functions are employed. Model parameters are determined to reproduce properties of the nucleon-nucleon system and the low-energy cross section data for the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We then proceed to explore B...
متن کاملStrangeness Contribution to the Polarized Nucleon Structure Function g 1 ( x ) †
The three flavor version of the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio chiral soliton model for baryons is employed to calculate the twist–2 contribution to the polarized nucleon structure function g 1 (x). In particular the role of the strange quark degree of freedom as a collective excitation of the chiral soliton is investigated in the context of flavor symmetry breaking. The model prediction for g 1 (x) refers...
متن کاملHyperon Beta–Decay and Axial Charges of the Lambda in view of Strongly Distorted Baryon Wave–Functions
Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave–functions while the charge operators maintain a symmetric structure. Sizable symmetry breaking in the wave–functions is required to reproduce the observed spacing in the spectrum of the 1 2 + baryons. The matrix elements of the flavor symmetric c...
متن کاملBaryon masses in large N c chiral perturbation theory ∗
We analyse the baryon mass spectrum in a framework which combines the 1/Nc expansion with chiral perturbation theory. Meson loop contributions involving the full SU(3) octet of pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons are evaluated, and the influence of explicit chiral and flavor symmetry breaking by non-zero and unequal quark masses is investigated. We also discuss sigma terms and the strangeness contrib...
متن کامل“strange” Nucleons and Hyperons as Chiral Solitons in the Njl Model R. Alkofer, H. Weigel, H. Reinhardt and A. Abada
In the chirally symmetric Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model baryons are described as chiral solitons of mesonic quark–antiquark bound states. Hyperons are investigated in two complementary pictures: the bound state approach of Callan and Klebanov and the collective approach of Yabu and Ando. The latter is used to compute the strange vector form factors of the nucleon providing estimates for the strange ...
