Abstract
In this paper we develop a theoretical framework which allows us to study excitations of the nucleon. Assuming an effective two-body interaction as a model for low-energy QCD, we derive a relativistic TDHF equation for a many-body system of quarks. To render the Dirac-sea contribution to the mean field finite, we introduce a symmetry-conserving regularization scheme. In the small-amplitude limit we derive an RPA equation. The structure of the ph interaction and modifications due to the regularization scheme are discussed. We give a prescription to obtain a nucleon state with good angular momentum ( J) and isospin ( T) quantum numbers on mean-field level. To study excitations, we develop a tensor-RPA approach, which is an extension of the conventional RPA techniques to systems with a nonscalar ground state. This allows us to construct excited states with good ( J/ T) quantum numbers. We discuss a method to reduce the overcomplete ph-space and compute the tensor-RPA interaction matrix elements. Finally we extend our scheme to include ( 3 2 +, 3 2 )- states .
