Update of the stranger story: the strange vector form factors of the nucleon

The strange vector form factors are investigated in the framework of the semi-bosonized SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model (or chiral quark-soliton model). The mean-square strange radius \langle r^2 \rangle_s=-0.17\; \mbox{fm}^2 and the strange magnetic moment \mu_s = -0.45 are obtained in case of the constituent quark mass M=420 \;\mbox{MeV}. The results are compared with several different models

Nucleon described by the chiral soliton in the chiral quark soliton model

We give a survey of recent development and applications of the chiral quark soliton model (also called the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio soliton model) with $N_f$=2 and $N_f$=3 quark flavors for the structure of baryons. The model is an effective chiral quark model obtained from the instanton liquid model of the quantum chromodynamics. Mesons appear as quark-antiquark excitations and baryons arise as non-topological solitons with three valence quarks and a polarized Dirac sea. In this model, a wide variety of observables of baryons is considered.Comment: A talk given in the international conference on "Quark Lepton Nuclear Physics" in Osaka, Japan from May 20 to 23 in 1997.

1/Nc1/N_c Rotational Corrections to gAg_A and Isovector Magnetic Moment of the Nucleon

The $1/N_c$ rotational corrections to the axial vector constant and the isovector magnetic moment of the nucleon are studied in the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model. We follow a semiclassical quantization procedure in terms of path integrals in which we can include perturbatively corrections in powers of angular velocity $\Omega \sim \frac 1{N_c}$. We find non-zero $1/N_c$ order corrections from both the valence and the Dirac sea quarks. These corrections are large enough to resolve the long-standing problem of a strong underestimation of both $g_A$ and $\mu^{IV}$ in the leading order. The axial constant $g_A$ is well reproduced, whereas the isovector magnetic moment $\mu^{IV}$ is still underestimated by 25 \%.Comment: (Revtex), 10 pages (3 figures available on request), report RUB-TPII-53/9

Strange and singlet form factors of the nucleon: Predictions for G0, A4, and HAPPEX-II experiments

We investigate the strange and flavor-singlet electric and magnetic form factors of the nucleon within the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model. Isospin symmetry is assumed and the symmetry-conserving SU(3) quantization is employed, rotational and strange quark mass corrections being included. For the experiments G0, A4, and HAPPEX-II we predict the quantities $G^{0}_E + \beta G^{0}_M$ and $G^{\rm s}_E + \beta G^{\rm s}_M$. The dependence of the results on the parameters of the model and the treatment of the Yukawa asymptotic behavior of the soliton are investigated.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, Final version for publication in Eur.
