Abstract
We present an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of the quark-antiquark pairs (up, down and strange) are taken into account in an explicit form via a microscopic, QCD-inspired, quark-antiquark creation mechanism. In the present approach, the contribution of the quark-antiquark pairs can be studied for any inital baryon and for any flavor of the pairs. It is shown that, while the inclusion of quark-antiquark pairs does not affect the baryon magnetic moments, it leads to a sizeable contribution of the orbital angular momentum to the spin of the proton and the Lambda hyperon.
