Understanding the 1P- and 2S-wave nucleon resonances within the extended Lee-Friedrichs Model
Abstract
We present a unified desciption of the low-lying - and -wave nucleon resonance within the framework of an extended Lee-Friedrichs scheme. By incorporating the coupled-channel dynamics between bare quark-model states and the , and meson-baryon continua, we examine the mass shifts and structural properties of these excited states. We demonstrate that when the model parameters are calibrated to match the -wave spectrum and their widths, the pole associated with the bare state is naturally shifted downward to the mass region of physical Roper resonance--, thereby offering a dynamical explanation for the long-standing level-inversion problem. An approximate analysis of compositeness and elementariness reveals that the Roper resonance contains a significant meson-baryon continuum states, consistent with the picture of a bare core heavily dressed by meson-baryon cloud. Simultaneously, the pole positions and properties of five -wave resonances--, , , and are successfully reproduced. Our results highlight the essential role of coupled-channel effects in shaping the nucleon spectrum and provide a consistent microscopic insight into the interplay between internal quark degrees of freedom and external hadronic fields.
