Unified description of light- and strange-baryon spectra

arXiv:hep-ph/9706507 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.58.094030

Abstract

We present a chiral constituent quark model for light and strange baryons providing a unified description of their ground states and excitation spectra. The model relies on constituent quarks and Goldstone bosons arising as effective degrees of freedom of low-energy QCD from the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. The spectra of the three-quark systems are obtained from a precise variational solution of the Schrödinger equation with a semirelativistic Hamiltonian. The theoretical predictions are found in close agreement with experiment.
