Baryon Resonance Phenomenology
The Japan Hadron Facility will provide an unprecedented opportunity for the
study of baryon resonance properties. This talk will focus on the chiral
nonanalytic behaviour of magnetic moments exclusive to baryons with open decay
channels. To illustrate the novel features associated with an open decay
channel, we consider the ``Access'' quark model, where an analytic continuation
of chiral perturbation theory is employed to connect results obtained using the
constituent quark model in the limit of SU(3)-flavour symmetry to empirical
determinations.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, ws-procs9x6.cls(included), Proceedings from the

Precise determination of the strangeness magnetic moment of the nucleon
By combining the constraints of charge symmetry with new chiral extrapolation
techniques and recent low mass lattice QCD simulations of the individual quark
contributions to the magnetic moments of the nucleon octet, we obtain a precise
determination of the strange magnetic moment of the proton. The result, namely
G_M^s = -0.046 +/- 0.019 mu_N, is consistent with the latest experimental
measurements but an order of magnitude more precise. This poses a tremendous
challenge for future experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. Clairification of

Zero Modes in Electromagnetic Form Factors of the Nucleon in a Light-Cone Diquark Model
We use a diquark model of the nucleon to calculate the electromagnetic form
factors of the nucleon described as a scalar and axialvector diquark bound
state. We provide an analysis of the zero-mode contribution in the diquark
model. We find there are zero-mode contributions to the form factors arising
from the instantaneous part of the quark propagator, which cannot be neglected
compared with the valence contribution but can be removed by the choice of wave
function. We also find that the charge and magnetic radii and magnetic moment
of the proton can be reproduced, while the magnetic moment of the neutron is
too small. The dipole shape of the form factors, and
can be reproduced. The ratio decreases
with but too fast.Comment: 22 pages, 6 pages, accepted by J.Phys.
Theory Support for the Excited Baryon Program at the Jlab 12 GeV Upgrade
This document outlines major directions in theoretical support for the
measurement of nucleon resonance transition form factors at the JLab 12 GeV
upgrade with the CLAS12 detector. Using single and double meson production,
prominent resonances in the mass range up to 2 GeV will be studied in the range
of photon virtuality up to 12 GeV where quark degrees of freedom are
expected to dominate. High level theoretical analysis of these data will open
up opportunities to understand how the interactions of dressed quarks create
the ground and excited nucleon states and how these interactions emerge from
QCD. The paper reviews the current status and the prospects of QCD based model
approaches that relate phenomenological information on transition form factors
to the non-perturbative strong interaction mechanisms, that are responsible for
resonance formation.Comment: 52 pages, 19 figures, White Paper of the Electromagnetic N-N*

Chiral Extrapolation of Lattice Data for Heavy Meson Hyperfine Splittings
We investigate the chiral extrapolation of the lattice data for the
light-heavy meson hyperfine splittings D^*-D and B^*-B to the physical region
for the light quark mass. The chiral loop corrections providing non-analytic
behavior in m_\pi are consistent with chiral perturbation theory for heavy
mesons. Since chiral loop corrections tend to decrease the already too low
splittings obtained from linear extrapolation, we investigate two models to
guide the form of the analytic background behavior: the constituent quark
potential model, and the covariant model of QCD based on the ladder-rainbow
truncation of the Dyson-Schwinger equations. The extrapolated hyperfine
splittings remain clearly below the experimental values even allowing for the
model dependence in the description of the analytic background.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, typos corrected, presentation clarifie
Chiral extrapolation of lattice data for B-meson decay constant
The B-meson decay constant fB has been calculated from unquenched lattice QCD
in the unphysical region. For extrapolating the lattice data to the physical
region, we propose a phenomenological functional form based on the effective
chiral perturbation theory for heavy mesons, which respects both the heavy
quark symmetry and the chiral symmetry, and the non-relativistic constituent
quark model which is valid at large pion masses. The inclusion of pion loop
corrections leads to nonanalytic contributions to fB when the pion mass is
small. The finite-range regularization technique is employed for the
resummation of higher order terms of the chiral expansion. We also take into
account the finite volume effects in lattice simulations. The dependence on the
parameters and other uncertainties in our model are discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 3 Postscript figures, accepted for publication in EPJ
Transition between nuclear and quark-gluon descriptions of hadrons and light nuclei
We provide a perspective on studies aimed at observing the transition between
hadronic and quark-gluonic descriptions of reactions involving light nuclei. We
begin by summarizing the results for relatively simple reactions such as the
pion form factor and the neutral pion transition form factor as well as that
for the nucleon and end with exclusive photoreactions in our simplest nuclei. A
particular focus will be on reactions involving the deuteron. It is noted that
a firm understanding of these issues is essential for unraveling important
structure information from processes such as deeply virtual Compton scattering
as well as deeply virtual meson production. The connection to exotic phenomena
such as color transparency will be discussed. A number of outstanding
challenges will require new experiments at modern facilities on the horizon as
well as further theoretical developments.Comment: 37 pages, 17 figures, submitted to Reports on Progress in Physic
Properties of Light Flavour Baryons in Hypercentral quark model
The light flavour baryons are studied within the quark model using the hyper
central description of the three-body system. The confinement potential is
assumed as hypercentral coulomb plus power potential () with power
index . The masses and magnetic moments of light flavour baryons are
computed for different power index, starting from 0.5 to 1.5. The
predicted masses and magnetic moments are found to attain a saturated value
with respect to variation in beyond the power index 1.0. Further
we computed transition magnetic moments and radiative decay width of light
flavour baryons. The results are in good agreement with known experimental as
well as other theoretical models.Comment: Accepted in Pramana J. of Physic
