Title: Decays of non-strange positive parity excited baryons in the 1/Nc expansion

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:838471

The decays of non-strange positive parity baryons via emission of a pseudo-scalar meson are studied in the framework of the 1/Nc expansion to order 1/Nc. In particular, the pionic decays of the l=0 Roper baryons and of the l=2 baryons in the mass interval 1680-1950 MeV are analyzed using the available partial decay widths. Decay widths by emission of an eta meson are shown to be suppressed by a factor 1/Nc{sup 2} with respect to the pionic ones.
