PATTERNS IN THE NONSTRANGE BARYON SPECTRUM P. González, J. Vijande, A. Valcarce, H. Garcilazo INDEX i) The baryon spectrum: SU(3) and SU(6) x O(3). ii) The Quantum Number Assignment Problem. iii) Screened Potential Model for Nonstrange Baryons. iv) SU(4) x O(3) : Spectral predictions up to 3 GeV. v) Conclusions. What is the physical content of the baryon spectrum? The richness of the baryon spectrum tells us about the existence, properties and dynamics of the intrabaryon constituents. How can we extract this physical content? The knowledge of spectral patterns is of great help. The Eightfold Way: SU(3) The pattern of multiplets makes clear the existence of quarks with “triplet” quantum numbers and the regularities in the spectrum. From the spectral regularities one can make predictions and obtain information on the dynamics (SU(3) breaking terms).

Regarding the identification of resonances the experimental situation for nonstrange baryons is (though not very precise) more complete. From a simple NRQM calculation we shall show that SU(4) x O(3) is a convenient classification scheme for non-strange baryons in order to identify regularities and make predictions. NRQM for Baryons Lattice QCD : Q-Q static potential (G. Bali, Phys. Rep. 343 (2001) 1) Quenched approximation (valence quarks) 1 Vst (r ) ( r ) 2 r The Bhaduri Model The Missing State Problem E > 1.9 GeV: many more predicted states than observed resonances. The observed resonances seem to correspond to predicted states with a significant coupling to pion-nucleon channels (S. Capstick, W. Roberts PRD47, 1994 (1993)). Lattice QCD : Q-Q static potential Unquenched (valence + sea quarks) (DeTar et al. PRD 59 (1999) 031501). String breaking The saturation of the potential is a consequence of the opening of decay channels. The decay effect can be effectively taken into account through a saturation distance in the potential providing a solution to the quantum number assignment.
