If the narrow exotic baryon resonances $\Theta^+(1540)$ and $\Xi_{{3/2}(1862)$ are members of the $J^P = {1/2}1/2^+$ antidecuplet with $N^*(1710)$, the octet-antidecuplet mixing is required not only by the mass spectrum but also by the…
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 revisit the mass splittings of SU(3) baryons, taking into account the second-order effects of isospin and SU(3) flavor symmetry breakings within the framework of a chiral soliton model. The masses of the baryon decuplet turn out to be…
Algorithmic progress in recent years made it possible to simulate QCD with Nf=2 flavours of O(a)-improved Wilson fermions at very light quark masses. We present the current results for baryon spectrum states, the nucleon axial coupling and…

We study the electromagnetic form factors of the lowest-lying singly heavy baryons in a pion mean-field approach, which is also known as the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model. In the limit of the heavy-quark mass, the dynamics inside a…
We calculate several diagonal and non-diagonal fluctuations of conserved charges in a system of 2+1+1 quark flavors with physical masses, on a lattice with size $48^3\times12$. Higher order fluctuations at $\mu_B=0$ are obtained as…
Spectrum of low-lying five-quark configurations with strangeness quantum number $S=-3$ and negative parity is studied in three kinds of constituent quark models, namely the one gluon exchange, Goldstone Boson exchange, and instanton-induced…
The s-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons is studied in a unitarized coupled channel approach. We obtain a fair agreement for mass and width of several 3/2- resonances. In particular, the Xi(1820),…
We calculate the parton distributions for both polarized and unpolarized octet and decuplet baryons, using the MIT bag, dressed by mesons. We show that the hyperfine interaction responsible for the $\Delta - N$ and $\Sigma^0 - \Lambda$…
A unitary multi-channel approach, first developed by the Carnegie-Mellon- Berkeley group, is applied to extract the pole positions, masses, and partial decay widths of nucleon resonances. Input used are the partial wave amplitudes for the…

We examine the SU(3) symmetry breaking in hyperon semileptonic decays (HSD) by considering two typical sets of quark contributions to the spin content of the octet baryons: Set-1 with SU(3) flavor symmetry and Set-2 with SU(3) flavor…
The magnetic and transition magnetic moments of the ground-state baryons are computed in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory in the large-$N_c$ limit, where N_c is the number of colors. SU(3) symmetry breaking is systematically studied…
Using precise lattice QCD computations of the baryon spectrum, we present the first direct evidence for the presence of contributions to the baryon masses which are non-analytic in the light quark masses; contributions which are often…
The $\Lambda$ baryon spectrum is studied within the SU(3) flavor symmetry in a constituent quark model. We found that it is rather difficult to accommodate some negative-parity $\Lambda$ resonances as single $q^2s$ ($q = u,\,d$ quarks)…
We report our recent work on a hadronic molecule state of the KbarKN system with I=1/2 and J^P=1/2^+. We assume that the Lambda(1405) resonance and the scalar mesons, f_{0}(980), a_{0}(980), are reproduced as quasi-bound states of KbarN and…
The construction of baryonic operators for determining the N* excitation spectrum is discussed. The operators are designed with one eye towards maximizing overlaps with the low-lying states of interest, and the other eye towards minimizing…
