Abstract
With the results in the present chapter, we conclude our study of hadron rotational systematics. We have tried to show, from as many viewpoints as possible, that it makes sense to apply the concepts of nuclear physics also to hadron physics. The systematic results that we obtained by this procedure are internally consistent; they extrapolate to match the results from light atomic nuclei; and they permit us to achieve a reasonably accurate and complete mapping of the observed baryon and meson resonances. This approach is of course quite different from the conventional quark model mapping of these resonances.The conventional quark model, in spite of its early successes, has not led to an accurate mapping of the spectrum of meson resonances; in particular, if all of the resonances that we have shown in Figs. 16.1 – 16.3 actually exist, they overfill the “established” SUM meson nonets5 while still leaving the other meson nonets underfilled.
In the next chapter, the final chapter in Part III, we move from the low-mass meson and kaon resonances to the high-mass New Particle meson and kaon resonances. These New Particle states have very narrow widths, which makes them useful from the standpoint of studying mass quantizations. The narrow widths also mean that the New Particles are rotationless excitations, so that we will be studying a system which is composed more-or-less completely of S-states.

The present author was informed by G. Goldhaber (private communication) that this peak has been studied, and that it probably originates from misidentified events (e.g., Ke pairs).

N. M. Cason et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 36, 1485 (1976), identified a rather narrowwidth KK S-wave state near 1300 MeV, which they concluded probably has isotopic I = 1. However, A. J. Pawlicki et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 37, 1666 (1976), while confirming the existence of this state, concluded that it has a much broader width, and that it is an I = 0 enhancement.

The X−(1153)Γ16 values were obtained by fitting a Gaussian peak to the data of Ref. 10.It should be noted here that this X− peak, which appears in the final form of these data (see page S88 in A. Rittenberg et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 43, No. 2, Part II (supplement), April, 1971), also appears in earlier subsets of the data; whereas another nearby peak in the final data, X−(1080), does not show up in the earlier subsets, and hence is probably spurious.
