Five-quark components in baryons

Nuclear Theory 2015-05-14 v1

Abstract

Evidence has been accumulating for the existence of significant intrinsic non-perturbative five-quark components in various baryons. The inclusion of the five-quark components gives a natural explanation of the excess of dˉ\bar d over uˉ\bar u, significant quark orbital angular momentum in the proton, the problematic mass and decay pattern of the lowest 1/21/2^- baryon nonet, etc.. A breathing mode of qqqqqqqqˉqqq\leftrightarrow qqqq\bar q is suggested for the lowest 1/21/2^- baryon octet. Evidence of a predicted member of the new scheme, Σ(1/2)\Sigma^*(1/2^-) around 1380 MeV, is introduced.
