Λ(1405) and meson-baryon interactions in a quark model

  • 1. Department of Physics, Sophia University, Tokyo 102 (Japan)

Description

We investigate the mass spectra of p-wave Λ's by means of the constituent quark model with the effect of coupling to meson-baryon channels. The quark wave function of the lowest p-wave Λ*, i.e., Λ(1405), is found to be dominated by the antisymmetric flavor state which strongly couples to the bar KN and πΣ channels. The significant downward shift of the Λ(1405)'s mass is attributed to its large attractive self-energy due to the bar KNΛ* and πΣΛ* coupling and its strong increase due to the presence of the cusp around the bar KN threshold
