Abstract
We study S-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. In the S = 1 sector, we find an attractive interaction in the ΔK channel with I = 1 while it is repulsive for I = 2 . The attractive interaction leads to a pole in the second Riemann sheet of the complex plane and is manifested as a large strength in the scattering amplitude close to the ΔK threshold, which is not the case for I = 2 . We use the unitarized coupled channel approach to also investigate all the other possible values of strangeness and isospin. We find two bound states in the SU ( 3 ) limit corresponding to the octet and decuplet representations. These are found to split into eight different trajectories in the complex plane when the SU ( 3 ) symmetry is broken gradually. Finally, we are able to provide a reasonable description for a good number of 4-star 3 2 − resonances listed by the Particle Data Group. In particular, the Ξ ( 1820 ) , the Λ ( 1520 ) and the Σ ( 1670 ) states are well reproduced. We predict a few other resonances and also evaluate the couplings of the observed resonances to the various channels from the residues at the poles of the scattering matrix from where partial decay widths into different channels can be evaluated.
