Charge Radii and Quadrupole Moments of the Low-Lying Baryons in the Chiral Constituent Quark Model
The chiral constituent quark model (χCQM) with general parameterization method (GPM) has been formulated to calculate the charge radii of the spin1/2+octet and3/2+decuplet baryons and quadrupole moments of the spin3/2+decuplet baryons and spin3/2+→1/2+transitions. The implications of such a model have been investigated in detail for the effects of symmetry breaking and GPM parameters pertaining to the one-, two-, and three-quark contributions. Our results are not only comparable with the latest experimental studies but also agree with other phenomenological models. It is found that theχCQM is successful in giving a quantitative and qualitative description of the charge radii and quadrupole moments.
