Open Strings and Diquarks Describe Baryon Mass Spectrum
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Applies open string theory to model hadron mass spectra.
- •Achieves consistent fitting of meson and baryon spectra with a single Hagedorn temperature.
- •Suggests the importance of diquarks in the baryon structure.
- •Provides insights into quark deconfinement.
- •The Hagedorn temperature value aligns with lattice-QCD calculations.
“The consistent value for the Hagedorn temperature, $T_{ m H} \simeq 0.34\, ext{GeV}$, for both mesons and baryons.”
