Abstract

The mass formulae for the baryon octet and decuplet are calculated. These formulae are function of constituent quark masses and spin-spin interaction terms for the quarks inside the baryons. The coefficients in the mass formulae are estimated by the statistical model for , incorporating the contributions from the “sea” containing , , pairs and gluons. The measured masses are presented and found to be matching well with some of the experimental and theoretical data.
