Baryon resonances and strong QCD

چکیده
Light-baryon resonances (with u,d, and s quarks in the SU(3) classification) fall on Regge trajectories. When their squared masses are plotted against the intrinsic orbital angular momenta L, ∆’s with even and odd parity can be described by the same Regge trajectory. For a given L, nucleon resonances with spin S=3/2 are approximately degenerate in mass with ∆ resonances. To which total angular momentum L and S couple has no significant impact on the baryon mass. Nucleons with spin 1/2 are shifted in mass; the shift is in units of squared masses proportional to the component in the wave function which is antisymmetric in spin and flavor. Based on these observations, a new baryon mass formula is proposed which reproduces nearly all known baryon masses. It is shown that the masses are compatible with a quark-diquark picture while the richness of the experimentally known states require three particles to participate in the dynamics. This conflict is resolved by proposing that quarks polarize the QCD condensates and are surrounded by a polarization cloud shielding the color. A new interpretation of constituent quarks as colored quark clusters emerges; their interaction is responsible for the mass spectrum. Fast flavor exchange between the colored quark clusters exhausts the dynamical richness of the three-particle dynamics. The colored-quark-cluster model provides a mechanism in which the linear confinement potential can be traced to the increase of the volume in which the condensates are polarized. The quark-spin magnetic moment induces currents in the polarized condensates which absorb the quark-spin angular momentum: the proton spin is not carried by quark spins. The model provides a new picture of hybrids and glueballs.

J ul 2 00 5 Phenomenology of the Baryon Resonance 70 - plet at Large
Abstract We examine the multiplet structure and decay channels of baryon resonances in the largeNc QCD generalization of the Nc=3 SU(6) spin-flavor 70. We show that this “70”, while a construct of large Nc quark models, actually consists of five model-independent irreducible spin-flavor multiplets in the large Nc limit. The preferred decay modes for these resonances fundamentally depend upon wh...
متن کامل∆ resonances : quark models , chiral symmetry and AdS / QCD
The mass spectrum of ∆ resonances is compared to predictions based on three quark-model variants, to predictions assuming that chiral symmetry is restored in high-mass baryon resonances, and to predictions derived from AdS/QCD. The latter approach yields a nearly perfect agreement when the confinement property of QCD is modeled by a soft wall in AdS. PACS: 11.25.Tq Gauge/string duality, 11.30.R...
متن کاملOn meson resonances and chiral SU(3) symmetry
A profound understanding of the nature of meson and baryon resonances is one of the outstanding issues of QCD. The discovery of meson and baryon resonance states with exotic quantum numbers turns this into a burning question deserving prime attention. The goal is to establish a systematic approach which is capable of describing and predicting the resonance spectrum of QCD quantitatively. In thi...

I give a brief overview of the model-independent analysis of unstable baryon resonances in the 1/Nc QCD expansion. This approach produces numerous surprising semi-quantitative phenomenological predictions that are supported by available observations.
