Abstract

We compute the leading non-analytic quark mass dependence of the matrix elements of isovector twist-2 operators between octet baryon states in quenched QCD using quenched chiral perturbation theory. There are contributions of the form m_q log m_q, in analogy with QCD, but there are also contributions of the form log m_q from hairpin interactions. The nucleon does not receive such hairpin contributions.
