Pion Production Model - Connection between Dynamics and Quark Models
Abstract
Description
We discuss the difficulties in testing the hadron models by using the N^* parameters extracted from the empirical amplitude analyses of the pi-N and gamma-N reaction data. As an alternative or perhaps a more advantageous approach, we present a Hamiltonian formulation that can relate the pion production dynamics and the constituent quark models of N^* structure. The application of the approach in investigating the Delta and N^*(S_{11}) excitations is reviewed. It is found that while the Delta excitation can be described satisfactory, the pi-N scattering in S_{11} channel can not be described by the constituent quark models based on either the one-gluon-exchange or one-meson-exchange mechanisms. A phenomenological quark-quark potential has been constructed to reproduce the S_{11} amplitude.
