Hybrid baryon signatures
The authors discuss whether a low-lying hybrid baryon should be defined as a three quark--gluon bound state or as three quarks moving on an excited adiabatic potential. We show that the latter definition becomes exact, not only for very heavy quarks, but also for specific dynamics. We review the literature on the signatures of hybrid baryons, with specific reference to strong hadronic decays, electromagnetic couplings, diffractive production and production in {psi} decay.
