From known to undiscovered resonances

Abstract

Electromagnetic meson production formalisms are reviewed, with emphasise placed on their ability in search for new baryon resonances via gamma p -> K+ Lambda and gamma p -> eta p processes. The relevant studies, aiming to deepen our insights to hadron spectroscopy, constitute strong tests of the QCD inspired theoretical developements.
