Description

We suggest 3 P 0 quantum state of virtual ( s s ¯ ) pairs in the nucleon can be polarised by the internal fields permeating the volume of the nucleon (proton or neutron). Due to the quadratic Zeeman interaction, 3 P 0 wavefunction of virtual ( q q ¯ ) pairs acquires the admixture of 1 P 10 quantum state in the magnetic field, which generates the antiparallel polarization of s and s ¯ quarks (in the nucleon). Considering the internal magnetic fields of neutron and proton (originating from their measured magnetic dipole moments), we suggest the induced s-quark polarization in the neutron to be of the oposite direction compared to the proton case. We mention the influence of the internal chromo-magnetic fields on the quantum state of ( q q ¯ ) pairs in the nucleon and we discuss also the expected behaviour of virtual ( c c ¯ ) pairs. (paper)
