In this work, we outline the findings of our recent study of the properties of $N^*(1895)$ and its consequential impacts on the cross sections of the photoproduction of $\Lambda(1405)$. Further, we discuss the possibility of the existence…
The nature of nucleon resonances is still being debated, while much experimental data are accumulated. In this work, we focus on the negative parity resonance $N^*(1895)$ which is located in the scattering region of various meson-baryon…
The recent Review of Particle Physics [1] includes a new narrow N*(1685) resonance. Its properties, the narrow width and the strong photoexcitation on the neutron, are unusual. The paper reviews experimental data which have led to the…
We calculate the shape of the $\pi\Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ invariant mass distributions in the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi\, \pi\Sigma$ and $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi \,\bar K N$ decays that are dominated by the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. The weak…
We perform a theoretical study of the weak decay $\Lambda_c^+ \rightarrow \bar{K}^0 \eta p$ using a coupled-channel chiral unitary approach that incorporates both pseudoscalar-baryon and vector-baryon interactions. Our framework includes…
We have examined the existence of the $N^*(1685)$ resonance, which is recently listed by the Particle Data Group as a one-star nucleon resonance, by using a covariant isobar model for kaon photoproduction and assuming that the resonance has…
We argue that the existence of a new narrow (Gamma < 25 MeV) nucleon resonance N*(1685) is strongly supported by recent data on eta photoproduction off the nucleon. The resonance has much stronger photo-coupling to the neutron than to the…
We present a theoretical study of $\Xi^*(1690)$ resonance in the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda K^+ \bar{K}^0$ decay, where the weak interaction part proceeds through the Cabibbo-favored process $c \to s + u\bar{d}$. Next, the intermediate two…
We investigate the strong and radiative decay widths of the narrow nucleon resonances $N^*(1685)$ and $N^{\ast}(1726)$ within the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model. All the relevant parameters are taken from those used to…
A combined analysis of photoproduction data on \gamma p to \pi N, eta N was performed including the data on K Lambda and K Sigma. The data are interpreted in an isobar model with s--channel baryon resonances and pi, rho,(omega), K, and K^*…
We study the photoproduction of the $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\Sigma(1400)$ hyperon resonances, the latter of which is not a well established state. We evaluate the $s$-, $t$- and $u$-channel diagrams in the Born approximation by employing the…
We present a detailed study of the partial decay widths of a spin-parity resonance $J^P=3/2^-$ $N^*$ with a mass of $\simeq$ 2070 MeV obtained from the coupled channel s wave vector-baryon $\rho N$, $\omega N$, $\phi N$, $K^*\Lambda$ and…
We reexamine properties of the baryon antidecuplet $\Theta^+$ and $N^*$, and the $\pi N$ sigma term within the framework of a chiral soliton model, focusing on their dependence on the $\Theta^+$ mass. It turns out that the measured value of…
Among the light baryons, the $J^\pi = \frac{1}{2}^-$ $\Lambda(1405)$ hyperon is an important special case as it sits just below the $N\bar{K}$ threshold and decays almost exclusively to $\Sigma\pi$. Some long-standing hypotheses for…
We discuss the mass spectrum and strong decays of baryon resonances belonging to the N, Delta, Sigma, Lambda, Xi and Omega families in a collective string-like model for the nucleon. We find good overall agreement with the available data.…
Partial decay widths of the nucleon resonances $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1650)$, $D_{13}(1520)$ and $D_{13}(1700)$ to the pseudoscalar mesons and octet baryons are studied within a chiral constituent quark model. The effects of the…
We review recent progress in our understanding of the nucleon excitation spectrum. Thanks to dedicated efforts at facilities such as ELSA, MAMI and Jefferson Lab, several new nucleon resonances have been discovered, and evidence for…
In order to study the properties of the $N^*$(1535) and $N^*$(1650) we calculate the mass distributions of $M B$ in the $\Lambda_c \rightarrow \bar{K}^0 M B$ decay, with $MB=\pi N(I=1/2),\eta p$ and $K\Sigma(I=1/2)$. We do this by…
We collected notes and simple estimates about putative narrow nucleon N*(1685) - the candidate for the non-strange member of the exotic anti-decuplet of baryons. In particular, we consider the recent high precision data on eta…
The 1/N_c expansion of QCD provides a valuable semiquantitative tool to study baryon scattering amplitudes and the short-lived baryon resonances embedded within them. A generalization of methods originally applied in chiral soliton models…
