Electromagnetic Form Factors and Static Properties of the Nucleons in a Chiral Symmetric Quark Model

Nucleon charge and magnetic form factors [Formula: see text] are computed in an independent-quark model with an equally mixed scalar and vector confining potential in square root form taking into account the corrections due to center-of-mass motion and pion-clound effects. The values obtained for the nucleon static properties such as the magnetic moment, charge radius and axial vector coupling constant in the neutron beta decay process agree reasonably with the corresponding experimental data. The pseudo-scalar and pseudo-vector pion-nucleon coupling constants are found to be gNNπ=13.43 and fNNπ=0.282, which are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
