Lowest negative parity baryons in the $1/N_c$ expansion

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-15 v1

Abstract

We review a recently proposed approach to study the lowest negative parity baryons within the 1/Nc1/N_c expansion. The method is based on the derivation of the matrix elements of SU(2Nf_f) generators for mixed symmetric [Nc1,1][N_c-1,1] flavor-spin states. Presently it is applied to the N = 1 band and a comparison is made with a former method based on the decoupling of the system into a symmetric core of Nc1N_c-1 quarks and an excited one. We prove that the decoupling is not necessary and moreover, it misses some important physical consequences.
