Helicity skewed quark distributions of the nucleon and chiral symmetry

arXiv:hep-ph/9909489 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.62.014024

Abstract

We compute the helicity skewed quark distributions and in the chiral quark-soliton model of the nucleon. This model emphasizes correctly the role of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry in structure of nucleon. It is based on the large-N_c picture of the nucleon as a soliton of the effective chiral lagrangian and allows to calculate the leading twist quark- and antiquark distributions at a low normalization point. We discuss the role of chiral symmetry in the helicity skewed quark distributions and . We show that generalization of soft pion theorems, based on chiral Ward identities, leads in the region of -ξ< x < ξto the pion pole contribution to which dominates at small momentum transfer.
