The strangeness content of the nucleon

Abstract

The strangeness content of the nucleon is estimated in the SU(3) chiral color dielectric model where the pseudoscalar meson contribution is treated perturbatively. The strangeness content is generated by including the kaon and eta cloud in the calculation. The calculation shows that the probability of the kaon and eta cloud varies between 1.2% and 3.9% for different parameter sets. The contribution of the strange sector to the nucleon properties is less than 4%.

    Similarly, such interpretation of the strangeness has been brought to other analyses of low-energy elastic neutrino–proton scattering [2]. This result is contrary to the negative values of the proton strange form factor which result from most of the model calculations [8–22] except those of Hong et al. [23], Hong [24] and Hong and Park [25] based on the SU(3) chiral bag model (CBM) [26–43] and the recent predictions of the chiral quark soliton model [44] and the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory [45,46]. Recently, the anapole moment effects associated with the parity-violating electron scattering have been intensively studied to yield the more theoretical predictions [46–50]. (
