Proton Spin Based On Chiral Dynamics

Abstract

Chiral spin fraction models agree with the proton spin data only when the chiral quark-Goldstone boson couplings are pure spinflip. For axial-vector coupling from soft-pion physics this is true for massless quarks but not for constituent quarks. Axial-vector quark-Goldstone boson couplings with {\bf constituent} quarks are found to be inconsistent with the proton spin data.Comment: 8 pages, Latex, 1 table, no figure
