Strong decays of hadrons in a semirelativistic quark model

peer reviewedPion decay amplitudes of non-strange baryon resonances are calculated assuming a pseudo-scalar single-quark-emission-type model for the decay process. The resonances as well as the nucleon ground state are described by configuration mixing obtained previously in a semi-relativistic QCD inspired quark model. The decay widths are compared to the available experimental data and to other theoretical results
