Abstract

A Poincar\'e-covariant quark+diquark Faddeev equation is used to develop insights into the structure of the four lightest (I,JP=32,32±)(I,J^P=\tfrac{3}{2},\tfrac{3}{2}^\pm) baryon multiplets. Whilst these systems can contain isovector-axialvector and isovector-vector diquarks, one may neglect the latter and still arrive at a reliable description. The (32,32+)(\tfrac{3}{2},\tfrac{3}{2}^+) states are the simpler systems, with features that bear some resemblance to quark model pictures, \emph{e.g}., their most prominent rest-frame orbital angular momentum component is S\mathsf S-wave and the Δ(1600)32+\Delta(1600)\tfrac{3}{2}^+ may reasonably be viewed as a radial excitation of the Δ(1232)32+\Delta(1232)\tfrac{3}{2}^+. The (32,32)(\tfrac{3}{2},\tfrac{3}{2}^-) states are more complex: the Δ(1940)32\Delta(1940)\tfrac{3}{2}^- expresses little of the character of a radial excitation of the Δ(1700)32\Delta(1700)\tfrac{3}{2}^-; and whilst the rest-frame wave function of the latter is predominantly P\mathsf P-wave, the leading piece in the Δ(1940)32\Delta(1940)\tfrac{3}{2}^- wave function is S\mathsf S-wave, in conflict with quark model expectations. Experiments that can test these predictions, such as large momentum transfer resonance electroexcitation, may shed light on the nature of emergent hadron mass.
