This is a list of known and predicted baryons. Baryons are made of quarks and as such are part of the subatomic particle family called the hadrons. Baryons are the sub-family of hadrons with a baryon number of 1, as opposed to the mesons which are the sub-family of hadrons with a baryon number of 0. Since baryons are composed of quarks they participate in the strong interaction. Leptons are not composed of quarks and as such do not participate in the strong interaction. Protons and neutrons that make up most of the visible matter in the universe are both baryons, whereas electrons (the other major component of atoms) is a lepton.
Traditionally, baryons were believed to be composed of only three quarks (triquarks) (quarks have a baryon number of Vorlage:Frac and anti-quarks have a baryon number of −Vorlage:Frac. Recently, physicists have reported the existence of pentaquarks—"exotic" baryons made of four quarks and one antiquark, but their existence is not generally accepted.[1][2] Each baryon has a corresponding antiparticle (anti-baryon) where quarks are replaced by their corresponding antiquarks and vice versa. For example, a proton is made of two up quarks and one down quark; thus, the antiproton is made of two up antiquarks and one down antiquark.
Overview
Spin, orbital angular momentum , and total angular momentum
Spin (quantum number S) is a vector quantity that represents the "intrinsic" angular momentum of a particle. It comes in increments of Vorlage:Frac ℏ (pronounced "h-bar"). The ℏ is often dropped because it is the "fundamental" unit of spin, and it is implied that "spin 1" means "spin 1 ℏ". In some systems of natural units, ℏ is chosen to be 1, therefore does not appear anywhere.
Quarks are fermionic particles of spin Vorlage:Frac (S = Vorlage:Frac). Because spin projections varies in increments of 1 (that is 1 ℏ), a single quark has a spin vector of length Vorlage:Frac, and has two spin projections (Sz = +Vorlage:Frac and Sz = −Vorlage:Frac). Two quarks can have their spins aligned, in which case the two spin vectors add to make a vector of length S = 1 and three spin projections (Sz = +1, Sz = 0, and Sz = −1). If two quarks have unaligned spins, the spin vectors add up to make a vector of length S = 0 and has only one spin projection (Sz = 0), etc. Since baryons are made of three quarks, their spin vectors can add to make a vector of length S = Vorlage:Frac which has four spin projections (Sz = +Vorlage:Frac, Sz = +Vorlage:Frac, Sz = −Vorlage:Frac, and Sz = −Vorlage:Frac), or a vector of length S = Vorlage:Frac with two spin projections (Sz = +Vorlage:Frac, and Sz = −Vorlage:Frac).[3]
There is another quantity of angular momentum, called the orbital angular momentum (quantum number L), that also comes in increments of Vorlage:Frac ℏ, which represent the angular moment of due to particles orbiting around each other. The total angular momentum (quantum number J) of a particle is therefore the combination of intrinsic angular momentum (spin) and orbital angular momentum (J = S + L).[3]
Particles physicists are most interested in baryons with no orbital angular momentum (L = 0), therefore the two groups of baryons most studied are the S = Vorlage:Frac; L = 0 and S = Vorlage:Frac; L = 0, which corresponds to J = Vorlage:Frac and J = Vorlage:Frac, although they are not the only ones. It is also possible to obtain J = Vorlage:Frac particles from S = Vorlage:Frac and L = 1. How to distinguish between the S = Vorlage:Frac, L = 0 and S = Vorlage:Frac, L = 1 baryons is an active area of research in baryon spectroscopy[4].
Parity
Parity refers to whether the wavefunction of a particle is even or odd. A positive parity (P = +) means that the wavefunction is even, while a negative (P = −) means the wavefunction is odd.
- is an odd 1-dimensional wavefunction because
- is an even 1-dimensional wavefunction because
Isospin and charge
Observation of baryons prior to the development of the quark model led particle physicists to believe that some particles were so similar in how they interact with the strong nuclear force, and so similar in mass, that they were really the same particle even though they had different charge. This was due to the fact that prior to the development of the quark model, only baryons made of u, d and s quarks were known (although this wasn't known at the time). Since the mass of the u and d quarks are very similar, particles made of the same number of u and d quarks have the same mass, and the exact u and d quark composition specifies the charge (u carries charge +Vorlage:Frac while d carries charge −Vorlage:Frac. For example the four Deltas have different charges (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle (uuu), Vorlage:SubatomicParticle (uud), Vorlage:SubatomicParticle (udd), Vorlage:SubatomicParticle (ddd)), but the same mass (~1,232 MeV/c2), and was considered to be a single particle in different charged states.
To explain the different charges, particles physicist came up with the concept of isospin, whose projections varied in increments of 1 just like spin, where the charges corresponded to different isospin projections. Since the "Delta particle" had four "charged states" of mass 1,232 MeV/c2, the delta was said to be of isospin I = Vorlage:Frac whose four charged state Vorlage:SubatomicParticle, Vorlage:SubatomicParticle, Vorlage:SubatomicParticle, and Vorlage:SubatomicParticle corresponded to Iz = +Vorlage:Frac, Iz = +Vorlage:Frac, Iz = −Vorlage:Frac, and Iz = −Vorlage:Frac respectively. Another example is the two nucleons (the proton (uud) and neutron (udd)). The positive nucleon Vorlage:SubatomicParticle (proton) and the neutral nucleon Vorlage:SubatomicParticle (neutron)—each of mass ~938 MeV/c2—were given isospin I = Vorlage:Frac, and the projections Iz = +Vorlage:Frac and Iz = −Vorlage:Frac respectively.[5]
In the "isospin picture", the four Deltas and the two nucleons were thought to be the different states of two particles. However in the quark model, Deltas are different states of nucleons (the N++ or N− are forbidden by Pauli's exclusion principle). Isospin, although conveying an inaccurate picture of things, is still used to classify baryons, leading to unnatural and often confusing nomenclature. It was noted that the isospin projections were related to the up and down quark content of particles by the relation:
where the n's are the number of up and down quarks and anti-quarks.
Flavour quantum numbers
The strangeness flavour quantum number S (not to be confused with spin) was noticed to go up and down along with particle mass. The higher the mass, the lower the strangeness (the more s quarks). Particles could be described with isospin projections (related to charge) and strangeness (mass) (see the uds octet and decuplet figures on the right). As other quarks where discovered, new quantum numbers were made to have similar description of udc and udb octets and decuplets. Since only the u and d mass are similar, this description of particle mass and charge in terms of isospin and flavour quantum numbers only works well for octet and decuplet made of one u, one d and one other quark and breaks down for the other octets and decuplets (for example ucb octet and decuplet). If the quarks all had the same mass, their behaviour would be called symmetric, as they would all behave in exactly the same way with respect to the strong interaction. Since quarks do not have the same mass, they do not interact in the same way (exactly like an electron placed in an electric field will accelerate more than a proton placed in the same field because of its lighter mass), and the symmetry is said to be broken.
It was noted that charge (Q) was related to the isospin projection (Iz), the baryon number (B) and flavour quantum numbers (S, C, B′, T) by the Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula:[5]
S, C, B′, and T represent the strangeness, charmness, bottomness and topness flavour quantum numbers respectively. They are related to the number of strange, charm, bottom, and top quarks and antiquark according to the relations:
meaning that the Gell-Man–Nishijima formula is equivalent to the expression of charge in terms of quark content:
Particle classification
Baryons are classified into groups according to their isospin (I) values and quark (q) content. There are six groups of triquarks—nucleon (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), Delta (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), Lambda (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), Sigma (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), Xi (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), and Omega (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle). The rules for classification are defined by the Particle Data Group. These rules consider the up (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), down (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle) and strange (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle) quarks to be light and the charm (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), bottom (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle), and top (Vorlage:SubatomicParticle) to be heavy. The rules cover all the particles that can be made from three of each of the six quarks, even though baryons made of t quarks are not expected to exist because of the t quark's short lifetime. The rules do not cover pentaquarks.[6]
- Baryons with three Vorlage:SubatomicParticle and/or Vorlage:SubatomicParticle quarks are Vorlage:SubatomicParticle's (I = Vorlage:Frac) or Vorlage:SubatomicParticle's (I = Vorlage:Frac).
- Baryons with two Vorlage:SubatomicParticle and/or Vorlage:SubatomicParticle quarks are Vorlage:SubatomicParticle's (I = 0) or Vorlage:SubatomicParticle's (I = 1). If the third quark is heavy, its identity is given by a subscript.
- Baryons with one Vorlage:SubatomicParticle or Vorlage:SubatomicParticle quark are Vorlage:SubatomicParticle's (I = Vorlage:Frac). One or two subscripts are used if one or both of the remaining quarks are heavy.
- Baryons with no Vorlage:SubatomicParticle or Vorlage:SubatomicParticle quarks are Vorlage:SubatomicParticle's (I = 0), and subscripts indicate any heavy quark content.
- Baryons that decay strongly have their masses as part of their names. For example, ΣVorlage:Su does not decay strongly, but ΔVorlage:Su(1232) does.
It is also a widespread (but not universal) practice to follow some additional rules when distinguishing between some states which would otherwise have the same symbol.[5]
- Baryons in total angular momentum J = Vorlage:Frac configuration which have the same symbols as their J = Vorlage:Frac counterparts are denoted by an asterisk ( * ).
- Two baryons can be made of three different quarks in J = Vorlage:Frac configuration. In this case, a prime ( ′ ) is used to distinguish between them.
- Exception: When two of the three quarks are one up and one down quark, one baryon is dubbed Λ while the other is dubbed Σ.
Quarks carry charge, so knowing the charge of a particle indirectly gives the quark content. For example, the rules above say that the Vorlage:SubatomicParticle contains a b and some combination of two u and/or d quarks. A Vorlage:SubatomicParticle must be one u quark Vorlage:Nowrap begin(Q = Vorlage:Frac)Vorlage:Nowrap end, one d quark Vorlage:Nowrap begin(Q = −Vorlage:Frac)Vorlage:Nowrap end, and one b quark Vorlage:Nowrap begin(Q = −Vorlage:Frac)Vorlage:Nowrap end to have the correct charge Vorlage:Nowrap begin(Q = 0)Vorlage:Nowrap end.
Lists of baryons
These lists detail all known and predicted triquark baryons in total angular momentum J = Vorlage:Frac and J = Vorlage:Frac configurations with positive parity, as well as all the reported pentaquark baryons.
The symbols encountered in these lists are: I (isospin), J (total angular momentum), P (parity), u (up quark), d (down quark), s (strange quark), c (charm quark), b (bottom), Q (charge), B (baryon number), S (strangeness), C (charmness), B′ (bottomness), as well as a wide array of subatomic particles (hover for name).
Antiparticles are not listed in the tables; however, they simply would have all quarks changed to antiquarks (and antiquarks changed to quarks), and Q, B, S, C, B′, would be of opposite signs. Particles with † next to their names have been predicted by the standard model but not yet observed. I, J, and P values marked with *'s have not been firmly established by experiments, but are predicted by the quark model and are consistent with the measurements.[7][8]
JP = Vorlage:Frac+ baryons (triquarks)
[a] The masses of the proton and neutron are known with much better precision in atomic mass units than in Electron volt/c², due to the relatively poorly known value of the elementary charge. In atomic mass unit, the mass of the proton is 1.007 276 466 88(13) u while that of the neutron is 1.008 664 915 60(55) u.
[b] At least 1035 years. See proton decay.
[c] For free neutrons; in most common nuclei, neutrons are stable.
[d] The specific values of the name hasn't been decided yet. Will probably end up to something close to Vorlage:SubatomicParticle(5810)
[e] Some controversy exists about this data. See references
[f] This is actually a measurement of the average lifetime of b-baryons that decay to a jet containing a same sign Vorlage:SubatomicParticle∓Vorlage:SubatomicParticle∓ pair. Presumably the mix is mainly Vorlage:SubatomicParticle, with some Vorlage:SubatomicParticle.
JP = Vorlage:Frac+ baryons (triquarks)
Exotic baryons (pentaquarks)
This lists details pentaquarks reported to exist. However, other groups have looked for them and reported to have found nothing. Data is controversial to the point that the existence of pentaquarks is not generally accepted.
