Overview

This volume describes baryon models constructed from quarks, mesons and chiral symmetry. The roles of chiral symmetry and of quark model structure with SU (6) spin-flavour symmetry are discussed in detail, starting from a pedagogic approach. Emphasis is placed on symmetry aspects of the theories. As an application, the chiral bag model is studied for nucleon structure, where important methods of theoretical physics, mostly related to the semiclassical approach for a system of strong interactions, are demonstrated. This text is more practical than formal; tools and ideas are explained in detail, while solving actual problems. By checking each step of the computation, readers can learn not only the calculational techniques, but also the essential ideas behind them. The book should be of interest to advanced graduate students and researchers in high-energy physics.
