Abstract

We point out that in chiral quark models constituent quarks can have a nontrivial spin structure. The constituent quarks are quasiparticles, surrounded by a cloud of quark-antiquark pairs, with the angular momentum of the cloud polarized opposite to the valence quark spin. We discuss baryon magnetic moments and axial-vector current matrix elements in this context.
