Light-cone distribution amplitudes of the nucleon and ∆ baryon

Abstract

Abstract We investigate the light-cone wave functions and leading-twist distribution amplitudes for the nucleon and ∆ baryon within the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model. The baryon wave function consists of the valence quark and vacuum wave functions. The vacuum wave functions generate all possible higher Fock states by expanding them. We find that it is essential to consider the five-quark component and relativistic corrections to evaluate the distribution amplitudes of the nucleon and ∆ isobar. Having taken into account them, we derive the distribution amplitudes. The results are in good agreement with the lattice data.
