A consistent explanation of the Roper phenomenology
We study the electromagnetic transitions of the Roper N(1440) resonance. Our results, when combined with the previously obtained for the mass and the pionic strong decay widths of the Roper, show that within a non-relativistic constituent quark model scheme, a comprehensible understanding of the Roper phenomenology can be achieved. They also seem to support the view of the Roper as a radial excitation of the nucleon, though more experimental data are needed to reach a definitive conclusion.
Recent Developments in one and two Pion Production in Elementary Reactions and Few-Body Systems
In this talk we cover several issues concerning pion production. The first one is the pp → ppπ 0 reaction where an alternative explanation based on the off shell extrapolation of the πN amplitude is offered. A recent model for the γN → ππN reaction is presented and a new kind of exchange current is constructed from it which allows one to address problems like double ∆ photoproduction from the deuteron. Finally the (γ, ππ) reaction in nuclei is studied and shown to be highly sensitive to the renormalization of the pions in nuclei.
Electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon in a relativistic quark pair creation model
We study the effects of the | qqq q\bar{q} > component of the hadronic wave function on the description of the electromagnetic structure of the nucleon. Starting with a qqq baryonic wave function which describes the baryonic and mesonic low energy spectrum, the extra q\bar{q} pair is generated through a relativistic version of the 3P_0 model. It is shown that this model leads to a renormalization of the quark mass that allows one to construct a conserved electromagnetic current. We conclude that these dynamical relativistic corrections play an important role in reproducing the Q2 dependence of the electromagnetic form factors at low Q^2.
THE N* (1520) -> DELTA PI AMPLITUDES EXTRACTED FROM THE GAMMA P -> PI+ PI- P REACTION AND COMPARISON TO QUARK MODELS
[EN] The ¿p ¿ ¿+¿¿p reaction, in combination with data from the ¿N ¿ ¿¿N reaction has been recently analyzed and allows one to obtain the s- and d-wave amplitudes for the decay into ¿¿ with absolute sign with respect to the helicity amplitudes. In addition one obtains the novel information on the momentum dependence of the amplitudes. In the present paper we show how this new information poses new constraints to quark models of hadron structure. In particular we show that the signs and the momentum dependence of these amplitudes coincide with those given by non relativistic constituent quark models. The absolute values provided by these models agree only qualitatively, and a discussion is d…
Nucleon Form Factors at high q2 within constituent quark models
The nucleon form factors are calculated using a non-relativistic description in terms of constituent quarks. The emphasis is put on the reliability of present numerical methods used to solve the three-body problem in order to correctly reproduce the expected asymptotic behavior of form factors. Nucleon wave functions obtained in the hyperspherical formalism or employing Faddeev equations have been considered. While a q**(-8) behavior is expected at high q for a quark-quark force behaving like 1/r at short distances, it is found that the hypercentral approximation in the hyperspherical formalism (K=0) leads to a q**(-7) behavior. An infinite set of waves is required to get the correct behavi…
Double Pion Production Reactions
We report on reactions producing two pions induced by real and virtual photons or nucleons. The role of different resonances in these reactions is emphasized. Novel results on coherent 2π photoproduction in nuclei are also reported.
Strong pionic decays of baryons from a spectroscopic quark model
From a refined non-relativistic quark model that fits the baryonic low-energy spectrum the study of strong pion decay processes within an elementary emission model scheme points out the need of incorporating size-contributing components into the baryon wave functions. In particular the effect of a (qqq ) component is investigated in the framework of a quark pair creation model.
