Excited Baryons in Lattice QCD

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:792660
We present first results of calculations of masses of positive and negative parity excited baryons in lattice QCD using an O(a{sup 2}) improved gluon action and a fat-link clover fermion action in which only the irrelevant operators are constructed with fat links. The results are in agreement with earlier calculations of N* resonances using improved actions and exhibit a clear mass splitting between the nucleon and its chiral partner. The results also indicate a splitting between the lowest J{sup P}=(1/2){sup -} states for the two standard nucleon interpolating fields. The study of different Lambda interpolating fields suggests a similar splitting between the lowest two Lambda{sup 1/2{sup -}} octet states. However, the empirical mass suppression of the Lambda*(1405) is not evident in these quenched QCD simulations, suggesting an important role for the meson cloud of the Lambda*(1405) or a need for more exotic interpolating fields.
