Quark Models of Baryon Masses and Decays

The description of baryon resonance masses and decays in the constituent quark model is outlined, with emphasis on the potential-model approach combined with the 3P0 pair-creation model of strong decays. This approach allows the estimation of branching fractions for baryon states missing in pion nucleon elastic scattering analyses but expected to be present in electromagnetic production. Prospects for the discovery of hybrid baryons are discussed. A subjective list of the most important corrections required to this approach is presented.
