[more ▼] We discuss the compatibility between the quark-shell picture and the meson-nucleon scattering picture in large $N_c$ QCD for mixed symmetric $\ell$ = 1 states previously analyzed by using a simple Hamiltonian including operators up to order $\mathcal{O}(N^0_c)$ defined in the standard ground state symmetric core + excited quark procedure. Here we introduce a Hamiltonian of order $\mathcal{O}(N^0_c)$ defined in a new approach where the separation of the system into two parts is not required. Three degenerate sets of states (towers) with the same quantum numbers as in the scattering picture and in the standard procedure are obtained. Thus the compatibility is equally achieved. The eigenvalues of the presently chosen Hamiltonian also have simple analytic expressions, depending linearly on the three dynamical coefficients entering the Hamiltonian. This reinforces the validity of the new approach which had already successfully described excited negative parity baryons in a large energy range.

[more ▼] We briefly describe the 1/Nc expansion method for studying baryon masses. Two approaches of the large Nc excited baryons have been proposed so far. The first one, based on the Hartree picture, treats the baryon as a ground state core and an excited quark and the second one, suggested recently, considers the baryon globally, without decoupling the system. The masses of excited states of mixed orbital symmetry of nonstrange and strange baryons belonging to the lowest [70, −] multiplet are calculated in the 1/Nc expansion to order 1/Nc with the new method which allows to considerably reduce the number of linearly independent operators entering the mass formula. The status of the resonance Λ(1405) is discussed. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 17 (4 ULg) SU(6) [70,1-] baryon multiplet in the 1/N_c expansion; Stancu, Floarea in Physical Review.

[more ▼] The masses of excited states of mixed orbital symmetry of nonstrange and strange baryons belonging to the lowest $[{\bf 70},1^-]$ multiplet are calculated in the $1/N_c$ expansion to order $1/N_c$ with a new method which allows to considerably reduce the number of linearly independent operators entering the mass formula. This study represents an extension to SU(6) of our work on nonstrange baryons, the framework of which was SU(4). The conclusion regarding the role of the flavor operator, neglected in previous SU(6) studies, is reinforced. Namely, both the flavor and spin operators contribute dominantly to the flavor-spin breaking.

[more ▼] In order to better understand the fundamental issue regarding the compatibility between the quark-shell picture and that of resonances in meson-nucleon scattering in large $N_c$ QCD we extend the work of Cohen and Lebed on mixed symmetric $\ell $ = 1 baryons to analyze excited states with $\ell $ = 3. We give an explicit proof on the degeneracy of mass eigenvalues of a simple Hamiltonian including operators up to order $\mathcal{O}(N^0_c)$ \emph{i. e.} neglecting $1/N_c$ corrections in the quark-shell picture in the large $N_c$ limit. We obtain three degenerate multiplets formed of $\ell = 3$ states, as in the case of $\ell $ = 1 baryons. The compatibility between this picture and that of resonances in meson-nucleon scattering is discussed in the light of the present results.

[more ▼] We review a recently proposed approach to study the lowest negative parity baryons within the $1/N_c$ expansion. The method is based on the derivation of the matrix elements of SU(2N$_f$) generators for mixed symmetric $[N_c-1,1]$ flavor-spin states. Presently it is applied to the N = 1 band and a comparison is made with a former method based on the decoupling of the system into a symmetric core of $N_c-1$ quarks and an excited one. We prove that the decoupling is not necessary and moreover, it misses some important physical consequences.

[more ▼] Using group theory arguments we extend and complete our previous work by deriving all SU(6) exact wave functions associated with the spectrum of mixed symmetric baryon states [Nc-1,1] in the 1/Nc expansion. The extension to SU(6) enables us to study the mass spectra of both strange and nonstrange baryons, while previous work was restricted to nonstrange baryons described by SU(4). The wave functions are specially written in a form to allow a comparison with the approximate, customarily used wave functions, where the system is separated into a ground state core and an excited quark. We show that the matrix elements of the flavor operator calculated with the exact wave functions acquire the same asymptotic form at large Nc, irrespective of the spin-flavor multiplet contained in [Nc-1,1], while with the approximate wave function one cannot obtain a similar behavior. The isoscalar factors of the permutation group of Nc particles derived here can be used in any problem where a given fermion system is described by the partition [Nc-1,1], and one fermion has to be separated from the rest.

[more ▼] We propose a new method to study mixed symmetric multiplets of baryons in the context of the $1/N_c$ expansion approach. The simplicity of the method allows to better understand the role of various operators acting on spin and flavour degrees of freedom. The method is tested on two and three flavours. It is shown that the spin and flavour operators proportional to the quadratic invariants of SU$_S$(2) and SU$_F$(3) respectively are dominant in the mass formula.

[more ▼] In this exploratory study the spectrum of tetraquarks of type c \bar{c} s \bar{s} is calculated within a simple quark model with chromomagnetic interaction and effective quark masses extracted from meson and baryon spectra. It is tempting to see if this spectrum can accommodate the resonance Y(4140), observed by the CDF Collaboration, but not yet confirmed. The results seem to favor the JPC = 1++ sector where the coupling to the VV channel is nearly as small as that of X(3872), when described as a c \bar{c} q \bar{q} tetraquark. This suggests that Y(4140) could possibly be the strange partner of X(3872) in a tetraquark interpretation. However, the sector JPC = 0++ cannot entirely be excluded. This work questions the practice of extracting effective quark masses containing spin-independent contributions, from mesons and baryons, to be used in multiquark systems as well.

Such ... [more ▼] We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the results of a potential model with constituent quarks and the 1/Nc expansion mass formula for strange and nonstrange baryon resonances. Such compatibility brings support to the basic assumptions of relativistic quark models and sheds light on the physical content of the model-independent large Nc mass formula. Good agreement between both approaches is also found for heavy baryons, made of one heavy and two light quarks, in the ground state band.

[more ▼] We derive general analytic formulae for the matrix elements of the SU(6) generators for mixed symmetric $[N_c-1,1]$ spin-flavor states with an arbitrary number $N_c$ of quarks. They are relevant for baryon spectroscopy in the $1/N_c$ expansion method applied to light baryons and can be used to study excited states. In this way previous work on non-strange baryons can be extended to both non-strange and strange baryons.

This symmetric wave function is compared to that ... [more ▼] Using standard group theoretical techniques we construct the exact wave function of the $[{\bf 70},1^-]$ multiplet in the orbital, spin and flavor space. This symmetric wave function is compared to that customarily used in the $1/N_c$ expansion, which is asymmetric. The comparison is made by analyzing the matrix elements of various operators entering the mass formula. These matrix elements are calculated by the help of isoscalar factors of the permutation group, specially derived for this purpose as a function of $N_c$. We also compare two distinct methods used in the study of the $[{\bf 70},1^-]$ multiplet. In the first method the generators are divided into two parts, one part acting on a subsystem of $N_c-1$ quarks called core and another on the separated quark. In the second method the system is treated as a whole. We show that the latter is simpler and allows to clearly reveal the physically important operators in the mass formula.

[more ▼] So far, the masses of excited states of mixed orbital symmetry and in particular those of nonstrange $[{\bf 70},1^-]$ baryons derived in the $1/N_c$ expansion were based on the separation of a system of $N_c$ quarks into a symmetric core and an excited quark. Here we avoid this separation and show that an advantage of this new approach is to substantially reduce the number of linearly independent operators entering the mass formula. A novelty is that the isospin-isospin term becomes as dominant in $\Delta$ as the spin-spin term in $N$ resonances.

[more ▼] Much work has been devoted to the study of nonstrange baryons belonging to the $[\textbf{70},1^-]$ multiplet in the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion. Using group theoretical arguments here we examine the relation between the exact wave function and the approximate one, customarily used in applications where the system is separated into a ground state core and an excited quark. We show that the exact and approximate wave functions globally give similar results for all of mass operators presented in this work. However we find that the inclusion of operators acting separately on the core and on the excited quark deteriorates the fit and leads to unsatisfactory values for the coefficients which encode the quark dynamics. Much better results are obtained when we include operators acting on the whole system, both for the exact and the approximate wave function.

[more ▼] Previous work is extended from SU(2) to SU(3) and we present results for the mass spectrum of the [70,l(+)](l=0,2) nonstrange and strange baryons in the 1/N-c expansion. We show that the dominant term is the spin-spin interaction and its contribution vanishes at large excitations.

[more ▼] The mass splittings of the baryons belonging to the $[{\bf 70},1^-]$-plet are derived by using a simple group theoretical approach to the matrix elements of the mass formula. The basic conclusion is that the first order correction to the baryon masses is of order $1/N_c$ instead of order $N^0_c$, as previously found. The conceptual difference between the ground state and the excited states is therefore removed. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 10 (0 ULg)
