| Abstract | |
This work analyses very closely the chiral symmetry effects in the pion-nucleon form factor where the nucleon is constructed as a cluster, of three quarks confined by an harmonic potential. Chiral symmetry shows that the microscopic interactions between quarks and diquarks must be considered. The study is peformed step by step. First, we study the equivalence between the \"pair supression\" hypothesis and chiral symmetry in an elementary process with pion, quark and a scalar particle. In this case, our results show that the equivalence does not hold. Second, we obtain the form factor from the nucleon-nucleon potential expression applying a Fourier transformation on the potentia1 in coordinate space. The nucleon potential is obtained from the diagonalisation of the microscopic quark-quark potential using quark cluster bound state. The quark-quark potential is composed by one pion exchange between two quarks, quarks-diquarks and diquarks-diquarks. The processes are described by diagrams that are used to write relativistics amplitudes, then we reduce these amplitudes to the non-relativistic limit to find the potencial. In order to avoid double counting, we extract the particle part from diquark vertices. We also study the Fock-Tani method that is applied to the case with quark exchanges between clusters. (AU) | |
