The quark model for Baryons

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

This is an elementary introduction to Quark Models for Baryons. The emphasis is on quick ways of computing matrix elements, especially for axial vector currents and magnetic moments. Various ways of expressing baryon wavefunctions are discussed, especially for the spin-flavor part, and some short explanations for orbital wavefunctions and negative parity baryons are given.
