CHARGE RADII OF SPIN $\frac{1}{2}^+$ AND SPIN $\frac{3}{2}^+$ CHARMED BARYONS IN THE CHIRAL CONSTITUENT QUARK MODEL

Abstract

The chiral constituent quark model (χCQM) with general parametrization method (GPM) has been extended to calculate the charge radii of the charmed spin [Formula: see text] and spin [Formula: see text] baryons. The implications of such a model have been investigated for the effects of symmetry breaking and GPM parameters pertaining to the one-, two- and three-quark contributions. It is found that the χCQM along with these effects is successful in giving a quantitative and qualitative description of the charge radii of charmed baryons. In particular, it is able to account for the nonzero values of charge radii for the neutral charmed baryons.
