Light baryon masses in different large- limits

Abstract: (arXiv)
We investigate the behavior of light baryon masses in three inequivalent large- limits: 't~Hooft, QCD and Corrigan-Ramond. Our framework is a constituent quark model with relativistic-type kinetic energy, stringlike confinement and one-gluon-exchange term, thus leading to well-defined results even for massless quarks. We analytically prove that the light baryon masses scale as , and in the 't~Hooft, QCD and Corrigan-Ramond limits respectively. Those results confirm previous ones obtained by using either diagrammatic methods or constituent approaches, mostly valid for heavy quarks.Note:
