Nucleon form factors in an independent-quark model based on Dirac equation with power-law potential

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The nucleon electromagnetic form factors G/sub E//sup p/(qS) and G/sub M//sup p/(qS) and the axial-vector form factor G/sub A/(qS) are investigated in a simple model of relativistic quarks confined by a vector-scalar mixed potential U/sub q/(r) = (1+el)(a/sup nu+1/r/sup / +V0) without taking into account the center-of-mass correction and the pion-cloud effects. The respective rms radii associated with G/sub E//sup p/(qS) and G/sub A/(qS) come out as /sup 1/2/ = 1.07 fm and /sup 1/2/ = 1.17 fm. The possibility of restoring in this model the chiral symmetry in the usual way is discussed and the pion-nucleon form factor G/sub piN/N(qS) is derived. The pion-nucleon coupling constant is obtained as g/sub piN/N = 10.2, as compared to (g/sub piN/N)/sub expt/approx. =13.
