What is the big picture? Theory and Motivation Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Hadrons: Particles that are held together and interact via the strong force. Exist as bound states of quarks. Are the most fundamental of systems found in nature. Members of this group are Baryons and Mesons. Quark Structure: Baryon: qqq Quark Structure: Meson: q q Charles Hanretty (FSU) Measurement of I s and I c for γp p π + π October 3, 2 3 / 58

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Properties of QCD Describes the strong force. Introduces a color charge analogous to the electric charge (red, blue, green). Gluons and quarks possess a color charge, antiparticles possess anticolor. All observed particles are white or colorless states. Interactions are mediated by gluons. Since gluons carry a color charge, they mediate AND participate in the interactions.

Baryon can then be treated as being comprised of three non-interacting quarks pqcd. Confinement: The attractive force between quarks grows with the distance between them.

Why so many missing resonances? Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Possible answers and reasons... Most of what is found in the PDG handbooks has come from πn and KN scattering γn. Analyses involved a single meson final state (i.e. K + Λ, K + Σ, Nπ, Nη). Analyze a double-meson final state has the largest cross section. Sequential decay to final ground state particles: ex. γp N ++ π p π + π. Particle mass widths expected to be 5 MeV too big for a two-body (single meson) final state. Possible quark-diquark structure of the baryon.

Constituent Quark Models (CQMs) Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Resonances are both broad and overlapping!

Summary Theory and Motivation Extraction of Hadrons form the basis of most matter. These hadrons are systems containing quarks and gluons. Through the study of these systems when excited, the internal dynamics of the hadron may be demystified. Polarization observables are sensitive to these dynamics. Measured for γp p π + π : I c (first for a two-charged-pion final state) I s (first for a two-pion final state) These observable measurements as well as future measurements will aid in the refinement of CQMs as well aid in the revelation of the internal dynamics of the baryon.
