Baryon properties from light-front holographic QCD

We investigate the properties of octet and decuplet baryons in a light-front holographic model. By taking into account the effect of nonvanishing quark mass, we obtain the modified light-front wave functions which are applicable at both low and high energy scales. We calculate the spectra, form factors, magnetic moments and electromagnetic radii of octet and decuplet baryons with the results all matching the experiments well. The axial charge, which describes the contribution of quark helicity to the proton spin in the quark-parton model at the high energy scale, is also consistent with the experimental value. Therefore, the light-front holographic method is successful in studying hadronic physics at all energy scales, and the nonzero quark mass is essential to understand the spin structures together with other low energy properties.
