Parton Distributions for the Octet and Decuplet Baryons

Abstract

We calculate the parton distributions for both polarized and unpolarized octet and decuplet baryons, using the MIT bag, dressed by mesons. We show that the hyperfine interaction responsible for the $\Delta -N$ and ${\Sigma }^0-\Lambda$ splittings leads to large deviations from SU(3) and SU(6) predictions. For the $\Lambda$ we find significant polarized, non-strange parton distributions which lead to a sizable $\Lambda$ polarization in polarized, semi-inclusive $ep$ scattering. We also discuss the flavour symmetry violation arising from the meson-cloud associated with the chiral structure of baryons.
