We study $S$-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. In the S=1 sector, we find an attractive interaction in the $\Delta K$ channel with I=1 while it is…
The $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance has been recently studied in a unitarized coupled channel formalism with $\pi\Sigma(1385)$, $K\Xi(1530)$, $\bar{K}N$ and $\pi\Sigma$ as constituents blocks. We provide a theoretical study of the predictions of…

This talk focuses on a recent work aiming at determining the composition of certain $N^*$ and $\Delta$ resonances, i.e. whether they are compact states formed directly by quarks and gluons, or composite generated from the meson-baryon…
We report the chiral quark model approach for the study of baryon resonances in meson photoproduction and meson-nucleon scattering processes. Focussing on the $\pi N$ and $K N$ scatterings, we show that the cross sections near threshold can…
The development of a dynamical model for investigating the nucleon resonances using the reactions of meson production from \pi N, \gamma N, N(e,e'), and N(\nu,{\it l}) reactions is reviewed. The results for the \Delta (1232) state are…
We study the behavior with the number of colors ($N_c$) of the $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\Lambda(1670)$ resonances obtained dynamically within the chiral unitary approach. The leading order meson-baryon interaction, used as the kernel of the…
