Hadron Structure Functions within a Chiral Quark Model

Abstract

We outline a consistent regularization procedure to compute hadron structure functions within bosonized chiral quark models. We impose the Pauli--Villars scheme, which reproduces the chiral anomaly, to regularize the bosonized action. We derive the Compton amplitude from this action and utilize the Bjorken limit to extract structure functions that are consistent with the scaling laws and sum rules of deep inelastic scattering.
