A chiral potential model for the light-quark baryons

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:5013628
A confining potential model for the light-quark baryons, preserving spontaneously broken chiral symmetry is investigated. In the model the baryon is treated as a three-quark core that is surrounded by a cloud of pions. The quarks are described by the Dirac equation with a linear confining potential. Pion cloud contributions are dealt with in a convergent perturbation formalism up to second order in the interaction. Values for the static properties of the nucleon such as g{sub A}, G{sub {pi}NN}, charge radii and magnetic moments and the masses of the nucleon and delta are calculated. Reasonable agreement with the experimental values is obtained.
