Strong decays of in an extended chiral quark model
The strong decays of the resonance are investigated in an
extended chiral quark model by including the low-lying components
in addition to the component. The results show that these five-quark
components in contribute significantly to the and decays. The contributions to the decay
come from both the lowest energy and the next-to-lowest energy five-quarks
components, while the contributions to the decay come from only the
latter one. Taking these contributions into account, the description for the
strong decays of is improved, especially, for the puzzling large
ratio of the decays to and .Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Delta isobar masses, large N_c relations, and the quark model
Motivated by recent remarks on the Delta+ mass and comparisons between the
quark model and relations based on large-N_c with perturbative flavor breaking,
two sets of Delta masses consistent with these constraints are constructed.
These two sets, based either on an experimentally determined mass splitting or
a quark model of isospin symmetry breaking, are shown to be inconsistent. The
model dependence of this inconsistency is examined, and suggestions for
improved experiments are made. An explicit quark model calculation and mass
relations based on the large-N_c limit with perturbative flavor breaking are
compared. The expected level of accuracy of such relations is realized in the
quark model, except for mass relations spanning more than one SU(6)
representation. It is shown that the Delta0 and Delta++ pole masses and Delta0
- Delta+ = (Delta- - Delta++)/3 about 1.5 MeV are more consistent with model
expectations than the analogous Breit-Wigner masses and their splittings.Comment: 10 pages, including 1 eps figure, revte
Baryon Current Matrix Elements in a Light-Front Framework
Current matrix elements and observables for electro- and photo-excitation of
baryons from the nucleon are studied in a light-front framework. Relativistic
effects are estimated by comparison to a nonrelativistic model, where we use
simple basis states to represent the baryon wavefunctions. Sizeable
relativistic effects are found for certain transitions, for example, to radial
excitations such as that conventionally used to describe to the Roper
resonance. A systematic study shows that the violation of rotational covariance
of the baryon transition matrix elements stemming from the use of one-body
currents is generally small.Comment: 32 pages, LaTeX, 10 postscript figures, uses epsf.sty; figures

Pseudoscalar meson photoproduction: from known to undiscovered resonances
The role of dynamics in spin observables for pseudoscalar meson
photoproduction is investigated using a density matrix approach in a multipole
truncated framework. Extraction of novel rules for and reactions based on resonance dominance, and on
other broad and reasonable dynamical assumptions, are discussed. Observables
that are particularly sensitive to missing nucleonic resonances predicted by
quark-based approaches, are singled out.Comment: 22 pages, latex, 3 figure
Isospin Splitting in the Baryon Octet and Decuplet
Baryon mass splittings are analyzed in terms of a simple model with general
pairwise interactions. At present, the masses are poorly known from
experiments. Improvement of these data would provide an opportunity to make a
significant test of our understanding of electromagnetic and quark-mass
contributions to hadronic masses. The problem of determining resonance masses
from scattering and production data is discussed.Comment: 9 pages, LATEX inc. 2 LATEX "pictures", CMU-HEP91-24-R9
Photoproduction of pi0 omega off protons for E(gamma) < 3 GeV
Differential and total cross-sections for photoproduction of gamma proton to
proton pi0 omega and gamma proton to Delta+ omega were determined from
measurements of the CB-ELSA experiment, performed at the electron accelerator
ELSA in Bonn. The measurements covered the photon energy range from the
production threshold up to 3GeV.Comment: 8 pages, 13 figure
Helicity amplitudes and electromagnetic decays of hyperon resonances
We present results for the helicity amplitudes of the lowest-lying hyperon
resonances Y*, computed within the framework of the Bonn constituent-quark
model, which is based on the Bethe-Salpeter approach. The seven parameters
entering the model were fitted to the best known baryon masses. Accordingly,
the results for the helicity amplitudes are genuine predictions. Some hyperon
resonances are seen to couple more strongly to a virtual photon with finite Q^2
than to a real photon. Other Y*'s, such as the S_{01}(1670) Lambda resonance or
the S_{11}(1620) Sigma resonance, couple very strongly to real photons. We
present a qualitative argument for predicting the behaviour of the helicity
asymmetries of baryon resonances at high Q^2.Comment: 20 pages, 26 figures, uses svjour.cls style, submitted to the

Phenomenology of the Heavy Flavored spin 3/2 Baryons in Light Cone QCD
Motivated by the results of the recent experimental discoveries for charm and
bottom baryons, the masses and magnetic moments of the heavy baryons with
containing a single heavy quark are studied within light cone QCD
sum rules method. Our results on the masses of heavy baryons are in good
agreement with predictions of other approaches, as well as with the existing
experimental data.Comment: 12 Pages, 18 Figures and 3 Tables. Based on: arXiv:0807.3481v2

What is the structure of the Roper resonance?
We investigate the structure of the nucleon resonance N^*(1440) (Roper)
within a coupled-channel meson exchange model for pion-nucleon scattering. The
coupling to pipiN states is realized effectively by the coupling to the sigmaN,
piDelta and rhoN channels. The interaction within and between these channels is
derived from an effective Lagrangian based on a chirally symmetric Lagrangian,
which is supplemented by well known terms for the coupling of the Delta isobar,
the omega meson and the 'sigma', which is the name given here to the strong
correlation of two pions in the scalar-isoscalar channel. In this model the
Roper resonance can be described by meson-baryon dynamics alone; no genuine
N^*(1440) (3 quark) resonance is needed in order to fit piN phase shifts and
inelasticities.Comment: 55 pages, 14 figure
Baryon Spectroscopy in Lattice QCD
We review recent developments in the study of excited baryon spectroscopy in
lattice QCD. After introducing the basic methods used to extract masses from
correlation functions, we discuss various interpolating fields and lattice
actions commonly used in the literature. We present a survey of results of
recent calculations of excited baryons in quenched QCD, and outline possible
future directions in the study of baryon spectra.Comment: Contribution to Lecture Notes in Physics on Lattice Hadron Physics,
