Determination of the masses and decay widths of the well-established $s$ and $p$ baryon resonances below $2$ GeV

Abstract

This study appertains to the extraction of estimates for the masses and for the partial decay widths to pion-nucleon final states of the well-established (four-star) $s$ and $p$ baryon resonances below $2$ GeV. These estimates are exclusively obtained from the data contained in the recent compilation by the Particle Data Group. Only the $N$ ($S=0,I=1/2$) and the $\Delta$ ($S=0,I=3/2$) states are considered, where $S$ and $I$ denote strangeness and total isospin, respectively.
