Phenomenology of light baryon resonances

Nuclear Theory 2025-10-16 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Protons and neutrons are the building blocks of matter, glued together in nuclei by strong interactions. They can be excited by pions, real and virtual photons, neutrinos and other probes. These excitations are referred to as light baryon resonances. A short, pedagogical overview of the field is presented including experimental progress, interpretation of light baryon resonances, and a focus on analysis methods to extract the resonance spectrum from data.
