%0 Journal Article %T Algebraic models of hadron structure: I. Nonstrange baryons %A R. Bijker %A F. Iachello %A A. Leviatan %J Physics %D 1994 %I arXiv %R 10.1006/aphy.1994.1108 %X We introduce an algebraic framework for the description of baryons. Within this framework we study a collective string-like model and show that this model gives a good overall description of the presently available data. We discuss in particular masses and electromagnetic couplings, including the transition form factors that can be measured at new electron facilities. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/9402012v1
