Excited Baryons from the FLIC Fermion Action

Conference ·
OSTI ID:801522
Masses of positive and negative parity excited nucleons and hyperons are calculated in quenched lattice QCD using an order (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 N* simulations with improved actions, and exhibit a clear mass splitting between the nucleon and its parity partner, as well as a small mass splitting between the low-lying J{sup P}=1/2{sup -}N* states. Study of different Lambda interpolating fields suggests a similar splitting between the lowest two 1/2{sup -}Lambda* states, although the empirical mass suppression of the Lambda*(1405) is not seen.
