We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

The application of quark models to the spectra and strong and electromagnetic couplings of
baryons is reviewed. This review focuses on calculations which attempt a global description …

The composite nature of baryons manifests itself in the existence of a rich spectrum of
excited states, in particular in the important mass region 1–2 GeV for the light-flavoured …

The relativistic chiral SU (3) Lagrangian is used to describe kaon–nucleon scattering
imposing constraints from the pion–nucleon sector and the axial-vector coupling constants …

We review the theoretical developments and conceptual advances that stemmed from the
generalization of QCD to the limit of a large number of color charges, originally proposed by't …

The masses of the negative parity 70-plet baryons are analyzed in large N c QCD to order
1/N c and to first order in SU (3) symmetry breaking. The existing experimental data are well …

We present the first results for the masses of positive and negative parity excited baryons
calculated in lattice QCD using an O (a 2)-improved gluon action and a fat-link irrelevant …

The mass spectrum of the positive parity [56, 2+] baryons is studied in the 1/Nc expansion up
to and including O (1/N c) effects with SU (3) symmetry breaking implemented to first order. A …

We review recent developments in the study of excited baryon spectroscopy in lattice QCD.
After introducing the basic methods used to extract masses from correlation functions, we …

The masses of the negative parity SU (6) 70-plet baryons are analyzed in the 1/N c
expansion to order 1/N c and to first order in SU (3) breaking. At this level of precision there …
