RT Journal Article T1 Using highly excited baryons to catch the quark mass A1 Llanes Estrada, Felipe José A1 Bicudo, P. A1 Cardoso, M. A1 Van Cauteren, T. AB Chiral symmetry in QCD can be simultaneously in Wigner and Goldstone modes, depending on the part of the spectrum examined. The transition regime between both, exploiting for example the onset of parity doubling in the high baryon spectrum, can be used to probe the running quark mass in the mid-IR power-law regime. In passing we also argue that three-quark states naturally group into same-flavor quartets, split into two parity doublets, all splittings decreasing high in the spectrum. We propose that a measurement of masses of high-partial wave Delta∗ resonances should be sufficient to unambiguously establish the approximate degeneracy and see the quark mass running. We test these concepts with the first computation of the spectrum of high-J excited baryons in a chiral-invariant quark model PB E D P Sciences SN 2100-014X YR 2009 FD 2009 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50928 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50928 LA eng NO © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2010.Work supported by grant numbers UCM-BSCH GR58/08 910309, FPA2007-29115-E, FPA2008-00592, FIS2008- 01323, CERN/FP /83582/2008, POCI/FP /81933/2007, /81913/2007, PDCT/FP /63907/2005 and /63923/2005, Spain-Portugal bilateral grant HP2006-0018 / E-56/07, as well as the Flanders Research Foundation (FWO).
