Three-body unitarity, the cloudy bag model, and the Roper resonance

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

We present the details and results of a Faddeev calculation of ..pi../ital N/scattering in the /ital P//sub 11/ channel in the region of the Roperresonance. Our equations respect two- and three-body unitarity, treat thenucleon and delta on an equal footing, and have a pole with correct residue atthe nucleon mass. The input is from the cloudy bag model. Resonance behavior isexhibited without the inclusion of a bare Roper bag, although not in detailedagreement with experiment. If a bare Roper bag is included, the phase shiftsvary far too rapidly in the resonance region, implying that identifying thelowest radial bag excitations with the Roper leads to a physical Roper that ismuch too narrow.
