Flavor and Spin Structure of Octet Baryons at Large x
نویسنده
چکیده
The quark flavor and spin distributions in octet baryons are calculated both in the SU(6) quark spectator diquark model and in a perturbative QCD (pQCD) based model. It is shown that the Λ has the most significant difference in flavor structure at large x between the two models, though the flavor and spin structure of other baryons can also provide tests of different models. The Drell-Yan process for Σ± beams on isoscalar targets can be used to test different predictions concerning the valence quark flavor structure of the Σ±.

متن کاملQuark Distributions of Octet Baryons from SU(3) Symmetry
SU(3) symmetry relations between the octet baryons are introduced in order to connect both the unpolarized and polarized quark distributions of the octet baryons with those of the nucleon. Two different parametrizations of the nucleon quark distributions are used. A new scenario of quark flavor and spin structure of the Λ is found and compared with two other models: a perturbative QCD based ana...
متن کاملSpin and flavor dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions for octet baryons
I discuss the quark parton structure of octet baryons and the fragmentation of quarks into baryons in a spectator diquark model. The hyperfine interaction, responsible for the ∆-N and Σ-Λ mass splittings, leads not only to sizable SU(3) and SU(6) symmetry breaking in the quark distributions among the octet baryons but also to significant polarized non-strange quark distributions for the Λ. The ...
متن کاملThe 27-plet baryons with spin 3/2 under SU(3) symmetry
We investigate the spin 3/2 baryons in the 27-plet based on flavor SU(3) symmetry. For J = 3/2, we find all the candidates for non-exotic members. For J = 3/2−, we predict a new non-exotic member Λ(1780). Fitting the mass spectrum and calculating the widths of the members show an approximate symmetry of the 27-plet of SU(3). We find that the exotic members have relatively large widths and the Ξ...

We treat the baryon as a composite system made out of a " core " of three quarks (as in the standard quark model) surrounded by a " sea " (of gluons and q ¯ q-pairs) which is specified by its total quantum numbers like flavor, spin and color. Specifically, we assume the sea to be a flavor octet with spin 0 but no color. The general wavefunction for spin 1/2 baryons with such a sea component is ...
