Excited baryons may be analyzed in the 1/N_c expansion as true resonances in scattering amplitudes. The key idea making this program possible is a generalization of methods originally applied to chiral soliton models in the 1980's. One…
In this talk I show recent results on how many excited baryon resonances appear as systems of one meson and one baryon, or two mesons and one baryon, with the mesons being either pseudoscalar or vectors. Connection with experiment is made…
Predictions of two channels in the three-bod decays of the charmed mesons are made within the heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. There still exists the problem that the theoretical expectation is too small compared to the experimental…
