| Sumario: | We study the hierarchy of the coefficients in the 1/Nc expansion for the negative parity L=1 excited baryons from the perspective of the constituent quark model. This is related to the problem of determining the spin-flavor structure of the quark interaction. The most general two-body scalar interaction between quarks contains the spin-flavor structures t1at2a,s →1•s→2 and s→1•s →2t1at2a. We show that in the limit of a zero range interaction all these structures are matched onto the same hadronic mass operator Sc2, which gives a possible explanation for the dominance of this operator in the 1/N c expansion for the L=1 states and implies that in this limit it is impossible to distinguish between these different spin-flavor structures. Modeling a finite range interaction through the exchange of a vector and pseudoscalar meson, we propose a test for the spin-flavor dependence of the quark forces. For the scalar part of the quark interaction, we find that both pion exchange and gluon exchange are compatible with the data. © 2010 The American Physical Society. |
