Abstract

Poincare covariant quark models of the the nucleon, the Δ resonance and their excitations are explored. The baryon states are represented by eigenfunctions of the four-velocity and a confining mass operator, which reproduces the empirical spectrum up to 1700 MeV to an accuracy of 6%. Models of constituent quark currents provide the relations between ground-state properties and transition amplitudes.
