Charge radii of octet and decuplet baryons

Abstract

The charge radii of the octet and decuplet baryons have been calculated in the framework of chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$CQM) using a general parameterization (GP) method. Our results are comparable with the latest experimental studies as well as with other phenomenological models. The effects of SU(3) symmetry breaking and GP parameters pertaining to the one-, two- and three-quark contributions have also been investigated in detail.
