Abstract

We examine mass-corrected SU(6) symmetry predictions in the quark model relating vector, axial-vector and strong NN and N\Delta couplings, and demonstrate that the experimental N\Delta value is significantly higher than predicted in each case. Nevertheless the Goldberger-Treiman relation is satisfied in both sectors. Possible origins of the discrepancy of the quark model predictions with experiment are discussed.
