Abstract

We investigate the spin 3/2 baryons in the 27-plet based on flavor SU(3) symmetry. For Jp=3/2+J^p=3/2^+, we find all the candidates for non-exotic members. For Jp=3/2J^p=3/2^-, we predict a new non-exotic member Λ(1780)\Lambda(1780). Fitting the mass spectrum and calculating the widths of the members show an approximate symmetry of the 27-plet of SU(3). We find that the exotic members have relatively large widths and the Ξ(1950)\Xi(1950) has spin and parity Jp=3/2J^p=3/2^-. The possibility of assigning the non-exotic candidates to an octet is also analyzed.
