Chiral-Symmetry and Strange Four-Quark Matrix Elements

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We consider the matrix elements of the left-handed flavor-conserving four-quark operators in the nucleon and pion states. Using chiral symmetry, we derive relationships among these matrix elements. We argue that the ΔI=1/2\Delta I = 1/2 rule of hyperon and kaon non-leptonic weak decay implies possible large strange-quark content in the nucleon and pion.
