Title: Decay of Roper resonance in hybrid baryon model.

Keywords: Roper resonance, Hybrid baryon

Abstract:
In this work we study the structure of the Roper resonance via its decay processes. We go along with the argument that the Roper resonance is a state of three quarks and one transverse-electric (TE) gluon. A nonrelativistic quark-gluon model is employed, where the dynamics of antiquark-quark-gluon  is described in the effective 3S1 vertex in which a quark-antiquark pair is created (destroyed) from (into) a gluon. The wave function of the Roper resonance is properly constructed to take account into the gluon freedom in the nonrelativistic regime. The branching decay widths of Roper resonance to the N-pi, N-rho, N-eta, N-pi-pi and Delta-pi channels will be shown.
