Charge radii and quadrupole moments of the low-lying baryons in the chiral constituent quark model (Q903863)

Summary: The chiral constituent quark model (\(\chi\)CQM) with general parameterization method (GPM) has been formulated to calculate the charge radii of the spin \((1/2)^+\) octet and \((3/2)^+\) decuplet baryons and quadrupole moments of the spin \((3/2)^+\) decuplet baryons and spin \((3/2)^+\to(1/2)^+\) transitions. The implications of such a model have been investigated in detail for the effects of symmetry breaking and GPM parameters pertaining to the one-, two-, and three-quark contributions. Our results are not only comparable with the latest experimental studies but also agree with other phenomenological models. It is found that the \(\chi\)CQM is successful in giving a quantitative and qualitative description of the charge radii and quadrupole moments.
