This paper investigates the properties of light flavour baryons using a hypercentral quark model with a Coulomb plus power potential, analyzing how their masses and magnetic moments vary with the potential's power index.

Contribution

It introduces a hypercentral quark model with a Coulomb plus power potential to compute baryon properties and examines the effect of the potential's power index on these properties.

Findings

Masses and magnetic moments saturate beyond power index 1.0.

Computed transition magnetic moments match experimental data.

Radiative decay widths are consistent with other models.

Abstract

The light flavour baryons are studied within the quark model using the hyper central description of the three-body system. The confinement potential is assumed as hypercentral coulomb plus power potential ($hCPP_\nu$) with power index $\nu$. The masses and magnetic moments of light flavour baryons are computed for different power index, $\nu$ starting from 0.5 to 1.5. The predicted masses and magnetic moments are found to attain a saturated value with respect to variation in $\nu$ beyond the power index $\nu>$ 1.0. Further we computed transition magnetic moments and radiative decay width of light flavour baryons. The results are in good agreement with known experimental as well as other theoretical models.
