High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-06-22 v1

Abstract

In the extended chiral constituent quark model, the intrinsic ccˉc \bar{c} content of the nucleon is investigated. The probabilities of the quark-antiquark components in the nucleon wave functions are calculated by taking the nucleon to be admixtures of three- and five-quark components, with the relevant transitions handled {\it via} the 3^{3}P0_{0} mechanism. Predictions for the probability of the ccˉc \bar{c} in the nucleon wave function and the charmness-nucleon sigma term are presented. Our numerical results turn out to be consistent with the predictions from various other approaches reported in the literature.
