Covariant baryon charge radii and magnetic moments in a chiral constituent quark model

arXiv:nucl-th/0407009 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.70.094027

Abstract

The charge radii and magnetic moments of all the light and strange baryons are investigated within the framework of a constituent quark model based on Goldstone-boson-exchange dynamics. Following the point-form approach to relativistic quantum mechanics, the calculations are performed in a manifestly covariant manner. Relativistic (boost) effects have a sizeable influence on the results. The direct predictions of the constituent quark model are found to fall remarkably close to the available experimental data.
