We study the modification of the nucleon axial form factor in nuclear matter. The internal quark substructure of the nucleon is self-consistently described by the quark meson coupling model. We find that the axial form factor of the bound…
We show that the contact couplings of neutral pseudoscalar and axial mesons to the nucleon are proportional to $\Delta s$, the fraction of nucleon spin carried by the strange quark sea, and thus are strongly suppressed relative to the…
We investigate three different axial-vector form factors of the nucleon, $G_A^{0}$, $G_A^3$, $G_A^8$, within the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model, emphasizing their strangeness content. We take into account the rotational…

We study the transition form factors (TFFs) of axial-vector mesons in the context of currently available experimental data, including new constraints from $e^+ e^- \to f_1(1285) \pi^+ \pi^-$ that imply stringent limits on the high-energy…
The axial form factor plays a crucial role in quasielastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, but the error of the theoretical cross section due to uncertainties of $G_A$ remains to be established. Reversely, the extraction of $G_A$ from the…
The nucleon axial vector form factor is investigated in a light-cone quark spectator diquark model, in which Melosh rotations are applied to both the quark and vector diquark. It is found that this model gives a very good description of…
The scalar form factor of the nucleon and related physical quantities are investigated in the framework of the semibosonized SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio soliton model. We take into account the rotational $1/N_c$ corrections and linear $m_s$…
We study a vector dominance model which predicts a fairly large number of currently interesting decay amplitudes of the types S -> \gamma \gamma, V -> S \gamma and S -> V \gamma, where S and V denote scalar and vector mesons, in terms of…
We have recently examined the static properties of the baryon octet (magnetic moments and axial vector coupling constants) in a generalized quark model in which the angular momentum of a polarized nucleon is partly spin $\langle S_z…
The axial vector and tensor charge, defined as the first moments of the forward nucleon matrix elements of corresponding quark currents, are essential for characterizing the spin structure of the nucleon. However, the transversity…

Both neutrino and antineutrino charged-current quasi-elastic scattering on a carbon target are studied to investigate the nuclear effect on the determination of the axial form factor F_A(Q^2). A method for extraction of F_A(Q^2) from the…

We calculate the corrections to the strange matrix elements of the nucleon resulting from the breaking of rotational invariance on the light-cone. In the meson cloud model, the strange magnetic moment mu_S is seen to change sign once the…
