Exotic baryon multiplets at large number of colours

چکیده
We generalize the usual octet, decuplet and exotic antidecuplet and higher baryon multiplets to any number of colours Nc. We show that the multiplets fall into a sequence of bands with O(1/Nc) splittings inside the band and O(1) splittings between the bands characterized by “exoticness”, that is the number of extra quark-antiquark pairs needed to compose the multiplet. Each time one adds a pair the baryon mass is increased by the same constant which can be interpreted as a mass of a quark-antiquark pair. At the same time, we prove that masses of exotic rotational multiplets are reliably determined at large Nc from collective quantization of chiral solitons.

On photoexcitation of baryon antidecuplet
We show that the photoexcitation of the baryon antidecuplet, suggested by the soliton classification of low-lying baryons, is strongly suppressed on the proton target. The process occurs mostly on the neutron target. This qualitative prediction can be useful in identifying the non-exotic members of the antidecuplet in the known baryon spectrum. We also analyze the interrelation between photocou...
متن کاملExotic baryon resonances in the Skyrme model
We outline how one can understand the Skyrme model from the modern perspective. We review the quantization of the SU(3) rotations of the Skyrmion, leading to the exotic baryons that cannot be made of three quarks. It is shown that in the limit of large number of colours the lowest-mass exotic baryons can be studied from the kaon-Skyrmion scattering amplitudes, an approach known after Callan and...
متن کاملExotic baryon states in topological soliton models
The novel observation of an exotic strangeness S = +1 baryon state at 1.54 GeV will trigger an intensified search for this and other baryons with exotic quantum numbers. This state was predicted long ago in topological soliton models. We use this approach together with the new datum in order to investigate its implications for the baryon spectrum. In particular we estimate the positions of othe...
متن کاملChiral-soliton predictions for exotic baryons
We re-analyze the predictions of chiral-soliton models for the masses and decay widths of baryons in the exotic antidecuplet of flavour SU(3). The calculated ranges of the chiral-soliton moment of inertia and the π-nucleon scattering ΣπN term are used together with the observed baryon octet and decuplet mass splittings to estimate 1430MeV < mΘ+ < 1660MeV and 1790 MeV < mΞ−− < 1970MeV. These are...
متن کاملJ 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...
