INTRODUCTION The HAPPEX experiment @1# shows the combination G E s 10.39G M s of the strange charge and magnetic form fac- tors of the proton at Q 2 50.48 (GeV/ c ) 2 to be consistent with 0~0.02360.03460.02260.026!. Similarly the SAMPLE experiment @2# shows that G M s at Q 2 50.1 (GeV/ c ) 2 is con- sistent with 0, modulo uncertainties in the calculated value of the weak axial form factor of the nucleon @3#. The experi- mental result that the strangeness form factors of the proton are small may be used to constrain or test theoretical models for nucleon structure, as the theoretical predictions for these observables have covered a fairly wide range @5–11#. A calculation of the strangeness form factors of the proton based on the chiral quark model is reported here. The ap- proach considers the strangeness component of the proton as loop fluctuations, with intermediate strange mesons and s quarks, of the constituent quarks that form the proton. The constituent quark model approach represents an alternative to the hadronic approach, in which the strangeness components are considered as fluctuations of the nucleon into intermedi- ate strange mesons and hyperons. The chiral quark model approach brings the advantages of much smaller coupling constants and consequently the possibility of a converging loop expansion @11#, which takes all baryonic intermediate states into account. Moreover, as the amplitudes of the loops mainly scale with the inverse squared mass of the interme- diate meson, heavy meson contributions are suppressed. Ex- amples of this are the desirably small meson loop contribu- tions to the neutron charge radius @12# and the recent demonstration that the strange meson loop contributions to the proton give rise to but a very small strangeness magnetic moment @11,13#. It is shown here that the kaon and K * loop fluctuations of the light quarks, which are illustrated in Fig. 1, and which lead to but a small value for the strangeness magnetic mo- ment of the proton, also lead to strange form factors of the proton with very small magnitudes. The results are found to be fairly insensitive to the value of the cutoff scale for the loop integrals, provided that this is taken to be about 1 GeV or larger, i.e., values commensurate with the chiral symmetry restoration scale ;4 p f p ;1.2 GeV, at which scale the pseudoscalar mesons are expected to decouple from the con- stituent quarks. This insensitivity is due on the one hand to the smallness of the net contribution from loops with inter- mediate K * mesons and strange quarks, and on the other hand to the tendency for cancellation between the cutoff de- pendence of the contribution from loops with intermediate K mesons and strange quarks against that of the contribution from loops with KK * transition couplings. The smallness of the the diagonal K * s loop contribution is due to a strong cancellation between the two loop amplitudes in which the electromagnetic ~e.m.! coupling is to the intermediate K * meson and s quark, respectively @13#. The magnitude of the strange loop contributions to the strangeness form factors of the proton is of the order ( g 2 /4p 2 ) @ m q 2 /( m q 2 1m M 2 ) # , where g is the meson-quark cou- pling, and m q and m M are the masses of the light constituent quarks and strange mesons, respectively. As g 2 /4p ;0.7 for K and K * mesons, it follows with m q ;300 MeV that the loop amplitude in the case of kaons is expected to only be about ;0.06, and smaller still in the case of K * mesons. In comparison the expected magnitude of a typical loop ampli- tude in the case of the hadronic approach, where g 2 /4p .10 and m q is replaced by the proton mass, is more than an order of magnitude greater. This is also revealed by a com- parison of the calculated values for the strangeness magnetic moment of the proton in Refs. @9,13#. It suggests that a small net loop contribution in the hadronic approach only can re- sult as a consequence of strong cancellations between several large amplitudes unless strong cutoffs are invoked.

~Received 1 February 2000; published 14 September 2000!

The chiral quark model describes the strangeness components of the light quarks as fluctuations into strangemesons and quarks. The single strange pseudoscalar and vector meson loop fluctuations of the constituentuandd quarks give rise to only very small strangeness form factors for the proton. This result is in line withrecent experimental results, given their wide uncertainty range.

I. INTRODUCTION

The HAPPEX experiment@1# shows the combinationGE

s 10.39GMs of the strange charge and magnetic form fa

tors of the proton atQ250.48 (GeV/c)2 to be consistentwith 0~0.02360.03460.02260.026!. Similarly the SAMPLEexperiment@2# shows thatGM

s at Q250.1 (GeV/c)2 is con-sistent with 0, modulo uncertainties in the calculated valuethe weak axial form factor of the nucleon@3#. The experi-mental result that the strangeness form factors of the proare small may be used to constrain or test theoretical mofor nucleon structure, as the theoretical predictions for thobservables have covered a fairly wide range@5–11#.

A calculation of the strangeness form factors of the probased on the chiral quark model is reported here. Theproach considers the strangeness component of the protloop fluctuations, with intermediate strange mesons ansquarks, of the constituent quarks that form the proton. Tconstituent quark model approach represents an alternatithe hadronic approach, in which the strangeness componare considered as fluctuations of the nucleon into intermate strange mesons and hyperons. The chiral quark mapproach brings the advantages of much smaller coupconstants and consequently the possibility of a convergloop expansion@11#, which takes all baryonic intermediatstates into account. Moreover, as the amplitudes of the lomainly scale with the inverse squared mass of the interdiate meson, heavy meson contributions are suppressedamples of this are the desirably small meson loop contritions to the neutron charge radius@12# and the recentdemonstration that the strange meson loop contributionthe proton give rise to but a very small strangeness magnmoment@11,13#.

It is shown here that the kaon andK* loop fluctuations ofthe light quarks, which are illustrated in Fig. 1, and whilead to but a small value for the strangeness magneticment of the proton, also lead to strange form factors ofproton with very small magnitudes. The results are foundbe fairly insensitive to the value of the cutoff scale for tloop integrals, provided that this is taken to be about 1 Gor larger, i.e., values commensurate with the chiral symmrestoration scale;4p f p;1.2 GeV, at which scale thepseudoscalar mesons are expected to decouple from thestituent quarks. This insensitivity is due on the one handthe smallness of the net contribution from loops with int

mediateK* mesons and strange quarks, and on the othand to the tendency for cancellation between the cutoffpendence of the contribution from loops with intermediateKmesons and strange quarks against that of the contribufrom loops withKK* transition couplings. The smallness othe the diagonalK* s loop contribution is due to a stroncancellation between the two loop amplitudes in whichelectromagnetic~e.m.! coupling is to the intermediateK*meson ands quark, respectively@13#.

The magnitude of the strange loop contributions tostrangeness form factors of the proton is of the or(g2/4p2)@mq

2 )#, whereg is the meson-quark coupling, andmq andmM are the masses of the light constituequarks and strange mesons, respectively. Asg2/4p;0.7 forK and K* mesons, it follows withmq;300 MeV that theloop amplitude in the case of kaons is expected to onlyabout;0.06, and smaller still in the case ofK* mesons. Incomparison the expected magnitude of a typical loop amtude in the case of the hadronic approach, whereg2/4p.10 andmq is replaced by the proton mass, is more thanorder of magnitude greater. This is also revealed by a coparison of the calculated values for the strangeness magmoment of the proton in Refs.@9,13#. It suggests that a smanet loop contribution in the hadronic approach only cansult as a consequence of strong cancellations between selarge amplitudes unless strong cutoffs are invoked.

This paper falls into five sections. In Sec. II the contribtion of the strange loop amplitudes to the proton form factthat contain intermediate kaons are derived. The correspoing results for the loop amplitudes that involve intermediaK* mesons are derived in Sec. III. The contribution froloop fluctuations withK* →Kg vertices is derived in SecIV. The numerical results for the strangeness form factorsthe proton are calculated in Sec. V.

STRANGENESS FORM FACTORS OF THE PROTON IN . . . PHYSICAL REVIEW C62 045204

The calculation then proceeds by first calculatingstrangeness form factorsF1

s and F2s for the constituent

quarks. These form factors are the same for theu and dquarks. The relation of these form factors to the correspoing strangeness form factors of the proton is simonly under the assumption thatmq5mp/3, which implies anequipartition of the total proton momentum betweenquarks:

These expressions reduce to those given in Ref.@13# inthe limit Q2→0, if multiplied by the factormp /mq togive strangeness magnetic moments in units of nucmagnetons.

In Fig. 2 the kaon loop contributions to the protostrangeness Dirac form factorF1

s are shown as functions omomentum transfer, after subtraction of the irrelevant cstantF1

s(0). This loop contribution to the proton strangeneform factor is very small and negative, and forQ2

<1 (GeV/c)2 it decreases slowly from 0 to;20.01. Asshown below, the magnitude of this contribution is smalthan that of the strange vector meson loops.

The contributions from the kaon loop amplitudes to tstrangeness Pauli form factorF2

s are shown in Fig. 3. Theresult atQ250 agrees with the value found in Ref.@11#,once allowance is made for the slightly different choiceparameter values. These contributions, while small, aretably larger than the corresponding vector meson loop ctributions that are derived in Sec. III below. The momentudependence of the kaon loop contribution toF2

s(Q2) is fairlyweak forQ2 values below 1 (GeV/c)2.

L. HANNELIUS AND D. O. RISKA PHYSICAL REVIEW C62 045204

These expressions reduce to those derived in Ref.@13# in thelimit Q2→0, once multiplied bymp /mq in order to obtainthe results in units of nuclear magnetons.

The strange vector meson loop contributions tostrangeness Dirac form factorF1

s(Q2) of the proton are ob-tained after subtraction of the irrelevant valuesF1q

s (0) fromthe expressions~3.4! and~3.5! and multiplication of the sumof the remainders by a factor of 3, Eq.~2.9!. This contribu-tion is shown in Fig. 2 along with the corresponding kaloop contribution. In this case the vector meson loop conbution is larger in magnitude than the kaon loop contribtion. Even so the sum of theK and K* loop contributionsremains very small in magnitude, reaching only the va20.086 aroundQ251 (GeV/c)2.

The contribution of the strange vector meson loops tostrangeness Pauli form factor is very small because of acancellation between the two involved loop diagrams@13#.This contribution is shown in Fig. 3, with the much largcontribution from the kaon loop diagrams.

IV. K* -K LOOP CONTRIBUTION

We finally consider the strangeness loop fluctuation,which the e.m. coupling is to theK* K transition vertex~Fig.4!. The amplitude of this loop fluctuation may be calculatfrom the empirically known radiative widths of theK* me-sons. TheK* K transition current vertex has the form

V. SAMPLE AND HAPPEX

The SAMPLE @2,3# experiment measures the strangness magnetic form factor of the protonGM

s at Q250.1(GeV/c)2. The HAPPEX@1# experiment measures the combinationGE

s 10.39GMs at Q250.48 (GeV/c)2. The contribu-

tions to these observables from the kaon andK* loops inFigs. 1 and 4 are shown in Figs. 5 and 6 as a functionmomentum transfer.

The cutoff dependence is small@13#, and for Lx

51.2 GeV we obtain GMs (0.1)520.06 and GE

s (0.48)10.39GM

s (0.48)520.08. The latter value is slightly belowthe uncertainty range of the result of the HAPPEX expement. Similarly the former value is within the uncertainrange of the result of the SAMPLE experiment, provided t

GAZ is small and positive rather than large and negative

originally suggested@4,18#.The smallness of the calculated strangeness observa

of the proton is an inherent feature of the chiral quark modThe smallness of the measured strangeness observablesgests that this model may provide a useful frameworkdescribing those observables. The calculated momentumpendence ofGE

s agrees fairly well with that obtained bheavy baryon chiral perturbation theory@19#. The strange-ness radius is;0.02 fm2, which value is also obtained in thbaryon loop calculations in Ref.@10# if the cutoff scale is setto the chiral symmetry restoration scale. Because of the lanegative vector meson contribution to the Dirac form facF1

s , the calculatedGMs form factor grows more negative with

increasingQ2, whereas the third order chiral perturbatiotheory result, which does not consider vector mesons,GM

s is that it increases slowly with momentum transfer. Hiterto QCD lattice calculations have been made only forstrangeness magnetic momentGM

s (0), but not for theformfactors. The calculated values are negative, with substauncertainty limits ~20.3660.20 @20#, 20.1660.18 @21#!.The chiral quark model value forGM

s (0);20.06 @13# fallswithin the uncertainty range of the latter value.
