Description
Summary:The chiral constituent quark model ( χ CQM) with general parameterization method (GPM) has been formulated to calculate the charge radii of the spin 1 / 2 + octet and 3 / 2 + decuplet baryons and quadrupole moments of the spin 3 / 2 + decuplet baryons and spin 3 / 2 + → 1 / 2 + transitions. The implications of such a model have been investigated in detail for the effects of symmetry breaking and GPM parameters pertaining to the one-, two-, and three-quark contributions. Our results are not only comparable with the latest experimental studies but also agree with other phenomenological models. It is found that the χ CQM is successful in giving a quantitative and qualitative description of the charge radii and quadrupole moments.
