Description

The recently developed confined QCD perturbation theory is applied to calculating the glue admixture and configuration mixing in the nucleon. We show that this yields a negative charge radius for the neutron but of too small a magnitude to agree with experiment. Our conclusions suggest that pions may play an important role in the nucleon and that naive perturbative use of quarks and gluons may be insufficent to describe its static properties. (orig.)
