Abstract
We calculate the masses of the nucleon resonances [N+(1440), N-(1535), N- (1650), N+(1710), N+(1880), N-(1895), N+(2100)] using an adaptation of the method of finite energy QCD sum rules (FESR) introduced recently in the determination of the masses of the vector meson resonances. This variation of finite energy sum rules involves as usual integration over a closed contour consisting of a circle of a large radius R and a cut in the complex energy (squared) plane. A specific integration kernel is used, however, which minimizes the integral over the cut. We obtain remarkably stable results over a wide range R, where R is the radius of the integration contour. The sum rule predictions agree well with the experimental values. We make use of the nucleonic correlator discussed in our previous FESR calculation of the nucleon mass.
