Instantons and the singlet-coupling in the chiral quark model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Chiral quark model with a broken-U(3) flavor symmetry can be interpreted as the effective theory of the instanton-dominated non-perturbative QCD. This naturally suggests the possibility of a negative singlet/octet coupling ratio, which has been found, in a previous publication, to be compatible with the phenomenological description of the nucleon spin-flavor structure.
