Meson-baryon nature of the image in chiral dynamics Original Research Article

We present recent progress in the study of the origin of baryon resonances in chiral dynamics. It is shown that in the chiral coupled-channel approach, the form of the interaction cannot be specified due to the cutoff of the loop integral. To avoid this ambiguity, we propose a natural renormalization scheme, which affords a clue to the origin of the resonance, together with the phenomenological fitting to experimental data. We study the structure of the Λ(1405) resonance in comparison with the N(1535).
