We present the first Dyson-Schwinger equation calculation of the light hadron spectrum that simultaneously correlates the masses of meson and baryon ground- and excited-states within a single framework. At the core of our analysis is a symmetry-preserving treatment of a vector-vector contact interaction. In comparison with relevant quantities the root-mean-square-relative-error/degree-of freedom is 13%. Notable amongst our results is agreement between the computed baryon masses and the bare masses employed in modern dynamical coupled-channels models of pion-nucleon reactions. Our analysis provides insight into numerous aspects of baryon structure; e.g., relationships between the nucleon and Delta masses and those of the dressed-quark and diquark correlations they contain.

We highlight Hermiticity issues in bound-state equations whose kernels are subject to a highly asymmetric mass and momentum distribution and whose eigenvalue spectrum becomes complex for radially excited states. We trace back the presence of imaginary components in the eigenvalues and wave functions to truncation artifacts and suggest how they can be eliminated in the case of charmed mesons. The solutions of the gap equation in the complex plane, which play a crucial role in the analytic structure of the Bethe-Salpeter kernel, are discussed for several interaction models and qualitatively and quantitatively compared to analytic continuations by means of complex-conjugate pole models fitted to real solutions.
Amongst the bound states produced by the strong interaction, radially excited meson and nucleon states offer an important phenomenological window into the long-range behavior of the coupling constant in Quantum Chromodynamics. We here report on some technical details related to the computation of the bound states eigenvalue spectrum in the framework of Bethe-Salpeter and Faddeev equations.
We tabulate the atomic mass excesses and binding energies, ground-state shell-plus-pairing corrections, ground-state microscopic corrections, and nuclear ground-state deformations of 9318 nuclei ranging from $^{16}$O to $A=339$. The calculations are based on the finite-range droplet macroscopic model and the folded-Yukawa single-particle microscopic model. Relative to our FRDM(1992) mass table in {sc Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables} [{bf 59} 185 (1995)], the results are obtained in the same model, but with considerably improved treatment of deformation and fewer of the approximations that were necessary earlier, due to limitations in computer power. The more accurate execution of the model and the more extensive and more accurate experimental mass data base now available allows us to determine one additional macroscopic-model parameter, the density-symmetry coefficient $L$, which was not varied in the previous calculation, but set to zero. Because we now realize that the FRDM is inaccurate for some highly deformed shapes occurring in fission, because some effects are derived in terms of perturbations around a sphere, we only adjust its macroscopic parameters to ground-state masses. The values of ten constants are determined directly from an optimization to fit ground-state masses of 2149 nuclei ranging from $^{16}$O to $^{265}_{106}$Sg and $^{264}_{108}$Hs. The error of the mass model is 0.5595~MeV. We also provide masses in the FRLDM, which in the more accurate treatments now has an error of 0.6618 MeV. But in contrast to the FRDM, it is suitable for studies of fission and has been extensively so applied elsewhere, with FRLDM(2002) constants. The FRLDM(2012) fits 31 fission barrier heights from $^{70}$Se to $^{252}$Cf with a root-mean-square deviation of 1.052 MeV.
We examine the results of Chiral Effective Field Theory ($chi$EFT) for the scalar- and spin-dipole polarisabilities of the proton and neutron, both for the physical pion mass and as a function of $m_pi$. This provides chiral extrapolations for lattice-QCD polarisability computations. We include both the leading and sub-leading effects of the nucleons pion cloud, as well as the leading ones of the $Delta(1232)$ resonance and its pion cloud. The analytic results are complete at N$^2$LO in the $delta$-counting for pion masses close to the physical value, and at leading order for pion masses similar to the Delta-nucleon mass splitting. In order to quantify the truncation error of our predictions and fits as $68$% degree-of-belief intervals, we use a Bayesian procedure recently adapted to EFT expansions. At the physical point, our predictions for the spin polarisabilities are, within respective errors, in good agreement with alternative extractions using experiments and dispersion-relation theory. At larger pion masses we find that the chiral expansion of all polarisabilities becomes intrinsically unreliable as $m_pi$ approaches about $300;$MeV---as has already been seen in other observables. $chi$EFT also predicts a substantial isospin splitting above the physical point for both the electric and magnetic scalar polarisabilities; and we speculate on the impact this has on the stability of nucleons. Our results agree very well with emerging lattice computations in the realm where $chi$EFT converges. Curiously, for the central values of some of our predictions, this agreement persists to much higher pion masses. We speculate on whether this might be more than a fortuitous coincidence.
An approach for relating the nucleon excited states extracted from lattice QCD and the nucleon resonances of experimental data has been developed using the Hamiltonian effective field theory (HEFT) method. By formulating HEFT in the finite volume of the lattice, the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian model can be related to the energy eigenstates observed in Lattice simulations. By taking the infinite-volume limit of HEFT, information from the lattice is linked to experiment. The approach opens a new window for the study of experimentally-observed resonances from the first principles of lattice QCD calculations. With the Hamiltonian approach, one not only describes the spectra of lattice-QCD eigenstates through the eigenvalues of the finite-volume Hamiltonian matrix, but one also learns the composition of the lattice-QCD eigenstates via the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian matrix. One learns the composition of the states in terms of the meson-baryon basis states considered in formulating the effective field theory. One also learns the composition of the resonances observed in Nature. In this paper, we will focus on recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the structure of the $N^*(1535)$, $N^*(1440)$ and $Lambda^*(1405)$ resonances using this method.
