Dependence of nucleon properties on pseudoscalar meson masses
We discuss the sensitivity of nucleon properties (mass, magnetic moments and
electromagnetic form factors) on the variation of the pseudoscalar meson masses
in the context of the perturbative chiral quark model. The obtained results are
compared to data and other theoretical predictions.Comment: 18 pages, 12 figures, accepted for publication in J. Phys.
Baryon masses and nucleon sigma terms in manifestly Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral perturbation theory
We discuss the masses of the ground state baryon octet and the nucleon sigma
terms in the framework of manifestly Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral
perturbation theory. In order to obtain a consistent power counting for
renormalized diagrams the extended on-mass-shell renormalization scheme is
applied.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in J. Phys.
