Just How Strange? Loops, Poles and the Strangeness Radius of the Nucleon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a simple model for the strangeness radius of the nucleon. The model is based on vector meson dominance (VMD) and ω − φ mixing in addition to a kaon cloud contribution. We find that the VMD contribution is similar in magnitude and of the same sign as the kaon contribution to the Sachs strangeness radius and is significantly larger than the kaon contribution to the Dirac radius.

Stranger Still: Kaon Loops and Strange Quark Matrix Elements of the Nucleon*
Intrinsic strangeness contributions to low-energy strange quark matrix elements of the nucleon are modelled using kaon loops and meson-nucleon vertex functions taken from nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon scattering. A comparison with pion loop contributions to the nucleon electromagnetic (EM) form factors indicates the presence of significant SU(3)-breaking in the mean-square charge radii. A...
متن کاملStrangeness in the Nucleon on the Light - Cone
Strange matrix elements of the nucleon are calculated within the light-cone formulation of the meson cloud model. The Q 2 dependence of the strange vector and axial vector form factors is computed, and the strangeness radius and magnetic moment extracted, both of which are found to be very small and slightly negative. Within the same framework one finds a small but non-zero excess of the antist...
متن کاملToday ’ s View on Strangeness
There are several different experimental indications, such as the pion-nucleon Σ term and polarized deep-inelastic scattering, which suggest that the nucleon wave function contains a hidden ss̄ component. This is expected in chiral soliton models, which also predicted the existence of new exotic baryons that may recently have been observed. Another hint of hidden strangeness in the nucleon is pr...
متن کاملStrangeness in the Nucleon: the Strange Vector Form Factors
We discuss two descriptions of the nucleon’s strange vector form factors in the framework of vector meson dominance. The first, an updated and extended version of Jaffe’s dispersion analysis, approximates the spectral functions of the form factors as a sum of vector meson poles, whereas the second combines vector meson dominance in the ω and φ meson sector with an intrinsic strangeness distribu...
متن کاملThe Strangeness Radius and Magnetic Moment of the Nucleon Revisited
We update Jaffe’s estimate of the strange isoscalar radius and magnetic moment of the nucleon. We make use of a recent dispersion–theoretical fit to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors and an improved description of symmetry breaking in the vector nonet. We find μs = −0.24 ± 0.03 n.m. and r2 s = 0.21 ± 0.03 fm2. The strange formfactor F s 2 (t) follows a dipole with a cut–off mass of 1.46 ...
