A new QCD calculation of the mass of the nucleon is presented. It makes use of a polynomial kernel in the dispersion integrals tailored to practically eliminate the contribution of the unknown 1=2+ and 1=2- continuum. This approach avoids…
Expanded and updated version of a talk originally presented at ``IVth Int. Symp. on Pion--Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon'', Bad Honnef, 9--13 September 1991, originally published in $\pi N$ Newletter 6 (1992) 21--32. Table…
The twenty years since the announcement of the proton spin crisis by the European Muon Collaboration has seen tremendous progress in our knowledge of the distribution of spin within the proton. The problem is reviewed, beginning with the…
It is shown that the QCD anomaly may lead to an abnormal mixing behavior of the axial vector mesons similar to the pseudoscalar mesons. These mixing effects, involving a gluonic axial vector state, generate a non-vanishing strange quark…
Within an extended chiral constituent quark formalism, we investigate contributions from all possible five-quark components in the octet baryons to the pion-baryon ($\sigma_{\pi B}$) and strangeness-baryon ($\sigma_{s B}$) sigma terms; $B…
The strange magnetic moment of the nucleon ($\mu_s$) is examined as part of the nucleon's isoscalar anomalous moment. The dominant up and down quark effects in the anomalous moment may actually tend to favor $\mu_s >0$, which is contrary to…
We consider a simple model for the strangeness radius of the nucleon. The model is based on vector meson dominance (VMD) and $\omega - \phi$ mixing in addition to a kaon cloud contribution. We find that the VMD contribution is similar in…
These lectures give an introduction to the structure of the nucleon as seen with the electromagnetic probe. Particular emphasis is put on the form factors, the strangeness content, Compton scattering and polarizabilities, pion photo- and…
A formalism based on a relativistic plane wave impulse approximation is developed to investigate the strange-quark content ($g_{A}^{s}$) of the axial-vector form factor of the nucleon via neutrino-nucleus scattering. Nuclear structure…
We extend to the strange quarks and antiquarks, the statistical approach of parton distributions and we calculate the strange quark asymmetry $s-\bar s$. We find that the asymmetry is small, positive in the low $x$ region and negative in…
Charge symmetry breaking contributions to the proton's neutral weak form factors must be understood in order for future measurements of parity violating electron-proton scattering to be definitively interpreted as evidence of proton…
We perform a global QCD analysis of unpolarized parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the proton, including new $W +$\,charm production data from $pp$ collisions at the LHC and semi-inclusive pion and kaon production data in…
The chiral quark model with a nonet of Goldstone bosons can yield an adequate description of the observed proton flavor and spin structure. In a previous publication we have compared the results of a SU(3) symmetric calculation with the…
We study the strangeness electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon from the N_f=2+1 clover fermion lattice QCD calculation. The disconnected insertions are evaluated using the Z(4) stochastic method, along with unbiased subtractions from…
We study the sigma term and the strange quark content of nucleon in 2+1-flavor QCD with dynamical overlap fermions. We analyze the lattice data of nucleon mass taken at two different strange quark masses with five values of up and down…
A new method of obtaining the strange form factors of the nucleon is presented, in which forward-angle parity-violating $\vec{e}p$ elastic scattering data is combined with $\nu p$ and $\bar{\nu} p$ elastic scattering data. The axial form…
We update Jaffe's estimate of the strange isoscalar radius and magnetic moment of the nucleon. We make use of a recent dispersion--theoretical fit to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors and an improved description of symmetry breaking…
After a pedagogical review of the simple constituent quark model and deep inelastic sum rules, we describe how a quark sea as produced by the emission of internal Goldstone bosons by the valence quarks can account for the observed features…
Data on the mean multiplicity of strange hadrons produced in minimum bias proton--proton and central nucleus--nucleus collisions at momenta between 2.8 and 400 GeV/c per nucleon have been compiled. The multiplicities for nucleon--nucleon…
We report results of our calculation on the $\pi N\sigma$ term and quark spin content of the nucleon on the quenched $16^3 \times 24$ lattice at $\beta = 6.0$. The disconnected insertions which involve contributions from the sea quarks are…
