Abstract

Mixing of the low-1/2^{-}and and 3/2^{-}isinvestigated,employinganinstantoninducedquarkantiquarkpaircreationmodel,whichprecludestransitionsbetween is investigated, employing an instanton-induced quark-antiquark pair creation model, which precludes transitions between s^{3}and and s^{4}\bar{s}configurations.Modelswithhyperfineinteractionsbetweenquarksofthreedifferentkinds,namely,onegluonexchange,Goldstonebosonexchange(GBE)andaninstantoninducedinteraction(INS)arecalledOGE,GBEandINSmodels,respectively.Numericalresultsshowthattheinstantoninducedpaircreationcausesstrongmixingbetweenthethreeandfivequarkconfigurationswithspin3/2,andthatthismixingdecreasestheenergyofthelowestspin3/2statesinallthreedifferenthyperfineinteractionmodelsto configurations. Models with hyperfine interactions between quarks of three different kinds, namely, one-gluon-exchange, Goldstone-boson-exchange (GBE) and an instanton-induced interaction (INS) are called OGE, GBE and INS models, respectively. Numerical results show that the instanton-induced pair creation causes strong mixing between the three- and five-quark configurations with spin 3/2, and that this mixing decreases the energy of the lowest spin 3/2 states in all three different hyperfine interaction models to \sim 1750\pm50MeV.Ontheotherhand,transitioncouplingsbetween MeV.

Accordingly, the lowest \Omega$ states with negative parity in all three hyperfine interactions models have spin 3/2.
