A new application of the Gürsey and Radicati mass formula

2005, The European Physical Journal A

Abstract

We study the spin-and flavour-dependent SU (6) violations in the baryon spectrum by means of a Gürsey-Radicati mass formula. The average energy of each SU (6) multiplet is described using the SU (6)-invariant interaction given by a hypercentral potential containing a linear and a hyper-Coulomb term. We show that the nonstrange-and strange-baryon masses are, in general, fairly well reproduced and moreover that the Gürsey-Radicati formula holds in a satisfactory way also for the excited states up to 2 GeV.
