Symmetry patterns in the (N, Delta) spectrum
2007
We revise the role played by symmetry in the study of the low-lying baryon spectrum and comment on the difficulties when trying to generalize the symmetry pattern to higher energy states. We show that for the $(N,\Delta)$ part such a generalization is plausible allowing the identification of spectral regularities and the prediction of until now non-identified resonances.
Study of J/ψ and ψ(3686)→Σ(1385)0Σ¯(1385)0 and Ξ0Ξ¯0
2017
Abstract We study the decays of J / ψ and ψ ( 3686 ) to the final states Σ ( 1385 ) 0 Σ ¯ ( 1385 ) 0 and Ξ 0 Ξ ¯ 0 based on a single baryon tag method using data samples of ( 1310.6 ± 7.0 ) × 10 6 J / ψ and ( 447.9 ± 2.9 ) × 10 6 ψ ( 3686 ) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The decays to Σ ( 1385 ) 0 Σ ¯ ( 1385 ) 0 are observed for the first time. The measured branching fractions of J / ψ and ψ ( 3686 ) to Ξ 0 Ξ ¯ 0 are in good agreement with, and much more precise than, the previously published results. The angular parameters for these decays are also measured for the first time. The measured angular decay parameter for J / ψ → Σ ( 1385 ) 0 Σ ¯ ( 1385 ) 0 , …
Antineutrino induced Λ(1405) production off the proton
2015
We have studied the strangeness-changing antineutrino-induced reactions ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{l}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{l}^{+}\ensuremath{\phi}B$, with $\ensuremath{\phi}B={K}^{\ensuremath{-}}p$, ${\overline{K}}^{0}n$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{0}$, $\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$, $\ensuremath{\eta}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{0}$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{+}$, ${K}^{+}{\ensuremath{\Xi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, and ${K}^{0}{\ensuremath{\Xi}}^{0}$, using a chiral unitary approach. These ten coupled channels are allowed t…
Charm production in the CERN hyperon beam
1994
First results on charm production by the Σ- hyperon beam experiment WA89 at CERN are presented. Estimates are given for thexF and nuclearA dependence of the inclusive cross-section of D-mesons. Preliminary results on charm baryon production are shown.
Λb→J/ψKΞdecay and the higher order chiral terms of the meson baryon interaction
2015
We study the weak decay of the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}$ into $J/\ensuremath{\psi}K\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}$ and $J/\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\eta}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ states, and relate these processes to the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}\overline{K}N$ decay mode. The elementary weak transition at the quark level proceeds via the creation of a $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ meson and an excited $sud$ system with $I=0$, which upon hadronization leads to $\overline{K}N$ or $\ensuremath{\eta}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ pairs. These states undergo final-state interaction in coupled channels and produce a final meson-baryon p…
A model for the γN → ππN reaction
1995
We have studied the γN→ππN reaction using a model which includes N, Δ(1232), N*(1440) and N*(1520) intermediate baryonic states and the ρ-meson as intermediate ππ resonance. The model reproduces fairly well experimental cross sections below E γ = 800 MeV and invariant-mass distributions even at higher energies. One of the interesting findings of the study is that the γ N →N*(1520) → Δπ process is very important and interferes strongly with the dominant Δ-Kroll-Ruderman term to produce the experimental peak of the cross section.
The Reactionγp→π0γ′pand the Magnetic Dipole Moment of theΔ+(1232)Resonance
2002
The reaction $\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\ensuremath{'}}p$ has been measured with the TAPS calorimeter at the Mainz Microtron accelerator facility MAMI for energies between $\sqrt{s}=1221--1331\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{M}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$. The cross section's differential in angle and energy have been determined for the photon ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ in three bins of the excitation energy. This reaction channel provides access to the magnetic dipole moment of the ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{+}(1232)$ resonance and, for the first time, a value of ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{+}}=\mathbf{[}{2.7}_{\ensu…
The role of the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory
2013
We stress, on theoretical and phenomenological grounds, the importance of the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance in a chiral effective field theory approach applied to the study of $\pi N$ scattering. We show how its inclusion as a dynamical degree of freedom allow us to obtain reliably valuable information from $\pi N$ scattering data.
Parity-violating effects in electroproduction of theΔ(1232)by polarized electrons
1982
Parity-violating effects in the (quasi)elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from spin-\textonehalf{} targets are discussed in the framework of the unified guage theories of weak and electromagnetic interactions. In particular, the $R\ensuremath{-}L$ asymmetry in electroproduction of the $\ensuremath{\Delta}(1232)$ is studied in considerable detail, taking into account the full spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ structure of this resonance. Our results are valid for all values of $E$ and the entire range of ${Q}^{2}$. Numerical predictions are given for the standard Weinberg-Salam model at several energies of the electron beam.
Are there three Xi (1950) states?
2012
Different experiments on hadron spectroscopy have long suspected the existence of several cascade states in the $1900-2000 {\rm MeV}$ region. They are usually labeled under the common name of $\Xi (1950)$. As we argue here, there are also theoretical reasons supporting the idea of several $\Xi (1950)$ resonances. In particular, we propose the existence of three $\Xi(1950)$ states: one of these states would be part of a spin-parity $(1/2)^{-}$ decuplet and the other two probably would belong to the $(5/2)^{+}$ and $(5/2)^{-}$ octets. We also identify which decay channels are the more appropriate for the detection of each of the previous states.
