    Vector charmonium states J/ΨJ/\Psi and Ψ′\Psi' are copiously produced by e+e−e^+e^- annihilations at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). Their decays provide an excellent place for studying excited nucleons and hyperons -- N∗N^*, Λ∗\Lambda^*, Σ∗\Sigma^* and Ξ∗\Xi^* resonances. The systematic study of these excited nucleons and hyperons can provide us with critical insights into the internal quark structure of baryons.Comment: Postscript file, 3 pages.

    The J/ΨJ/\Psi and Ψ′\Psi' experiments at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) play a unique role in many aspects of light hadron spectroscopy, such as hunting for glueballs and hybrids, extracting uuˉ+ddˉu\bar u+d\bar d and ssˉs\bar s components of mesons, and studying excited nucleons and hyperons, i.e., N∗N^*, Λ∗\Lambda^*, Σ∗\Sigma^* and Ξ∗\Xi^* resonances. Physics objectives, recent results and future prospects of light hadron spectroscopy at BEPC are presented.Comment: Postscript file, 10 pages.

    Comment on "Mass and K Lambda coupling of N*(1535)"

    Full text link
    It is argued in [1] that when the strong coupling to the K Lambda channel is considered, Breit-Wigner mass of the lightest orbital excitation of the nucleon N(1535) shifts to a lower value. The new value turned out to be smaller than the mass of the lightest radial excitation N(1440), which effectively solved the long-standing problem of conventional constituent quark models. In this Comment we show that it is not the Breit-Wigner mass of N(1535) that is decreased, but its bare mass. [1] B. C. Liu and B. S. Zou, Phys. Rev.
