Description: Topic: A Model For the N-Baryon Spectrum

Location: SENG -201

Abstract:
For our research this semester, we have been using a model developed by Dr. J.P. Hsu in order to approximate energy eigenvalues for given sub-spectra of N-baryon states. In particular, I have been taking rough estimates given by the model, and adjusting values for the coupling constant and potential energy in order to better fit the experimental data we are comparing to. I will also be giving a brief overview of the relativistic quantum shell model for confining 3-quark system, and talking about a possible range of light quark masses that are acceptable for quarks to have in order for this model to produce reasonable numerical results for baryon spectra.
