Study of Excited Baryon States
Motivation
• Probe the internal structure of light quark baryons
• Search for “missing” baryons predicted by quark
model
• Obtain a better understanding of the strong
interaction force in the non-perturbative regime
• Examples for FDC application

PWA with FDC
• Try to determine the JPC of the resonance around
2.0 GeV/c2
• Following resonances are considered
N(939), P11(1440), D13(1520), S11(1535),
S11(1650), D15(1675), F15(1680), X
• For the background: phase space and sideband

fit
Results of PWA (II)
Results of PWA (III)
• L = 0 is preferred due to the suppression of the
centrifugal barrier factor for L  1
• For L = 0, JP is limited to be ½+ and 3/2+
• S decrease more than 400 if either ½+ or 3/2+ is
included in the PWA fit
• S decrease more than 60 if one of them are added
while another has been included
conclusion
• The peak around 2.0 GeV/c2 cannot be reproduced
by reflections of well-established N* resonances
• Jp=1/2+,3/2+ is preferred by PWA

Mathematical fit
• W/o any constrains, PWA
with N* and Λ* can fit
data:
(S= -997)
• However, it needs many
unexpected big BRs and
many large destructive
interferences to cancel
these big BRs.

PWA with tight constrains and w/o X(2075)
• Constrain the Nevent of near
threshold states ~ 100-200
• The PWA fit cannot reproduce
the enhancement near pΛ
threshold (S=-900).
PWA with tight constrains and with X(2075)
• Adding X(2075), PWA fit can
reproduce the enhancement near
pΛ threshold.
• Significance of X(2075) >> 5
sigma. (S=-952)
PWA with looser constrains and w/o X(2075)
 Constrain the Nevent of near
threshold states ~ 500-600
(already too big at least for
Λ*(1810), Λ*(1890) as limited
in J /    c.c. )
 The PWA fit can hardly
reproduce the enhancement
near pΛ threshold (S=-940).
PWA with looser constrains and with X(2075)
• Adding X(2075), PWA fit can
reproduce the enhancement near
pΛ threshold.
• Significance of X(2075) > 5
sigma. (S=-962)
conclusion of pΛ enhancement
• Reproducing the pΛ threshold enhancement with pure
N* and Λ* interferences needs many unexpected big
BRs and large destructive interferences.
• PWA fits with pure N* and Λ* and with constrains can
hardly reproduce the enhancement.
• PWA fit with X(2075) can easily reproduce the
enhancement (independent of constrains) with high
significance.

We perform PWA studies on the KΛ
mass threshold structure:
The most important we want to study
is its production BR
PWA is performed to J /  pK 
 possible N* and *states listed in PDG are fitted
N(1720), N(1900), (1520), (1690), …
 many different combinations are tried
 different JP of Nx is tried
also tried N(1535) to fit Nx

• A strong enhancement is observed near the mass threshold of
MK at BES II.
• Preliminary PWA with various combinations of possible N*
and Λ* in the fits —— The structure Nx*has:
Mass 1500~1650MeV
Width 70~110MeV
JP
favors 1/2 consistent with N*(1535)
The most important is:
It has large BR(J/ψ  pNX*) BR(NX* KΛ) 2 X 10-4 ,
suggesting NX*has strong coupling to KΛ.
indicating it could be a KΛ molecular state
(5 - quark system).
Summary
• FDC applied in the analysis of
J /  pK    c.c. and J /  p  n  c.c.
• Clear signals of excited baryons observed
• Seemed to be “missing” states observed in
J /  p  n  c.c.
• Possible multi-quark states X(2075) and Nx in
J /  pK    c.c.
• PWA on Nx, N* and * in J /  pK    c.c.
is still going on…
