When a suitable mixture of F- and D-type Yukawa couplings is chosen the dressed baryons group themselves into an infinite number of SU(3) multiplets of which the ground state turns out to be a spin 1/2 baryon octet and the first excited state is a spin 3/2 baryon decuplet. Then follows a spin 1/2 baryon antidecuplet.
Mesons consist of one quark and one anti-quark which have a spin of ±1/2 (half-integral spins). The spins can be parallel (giving 1, by 1/2+ 1/2=1 ) or anti-parallel (giving 0, by 1/2-1/2=0).
The spin alignment of all three quarks gives rise to the neutral delta’s spin of 3/2 rather than the neutron’s spin of 1/2. The Baryon Number Problem. In addition to charge and spin, baryons also have a quantum property called baryon number. 8 All baryons have a baryon number of +1. All quarks have a baryon number of +1/3.

I keep on hearing that there are hundreds of hadrons, or even more ambiguous a zoo of hadrons, but for some reason I've never seen an exact answer. Given that there are 6 quarks, it seems you can form 6*6*6=216 baryons. Including anti-baryons, that would be 2*216=432 baryons. Also there are two sets.
Baryon resonance particles are excited baryon states with short half lives and higher masses. Despite significant research, the fundamental degrees of freedom behind baryon excitation spectra are still poorly understood. The spin-parity J P (when known) is given with each particle.
In particle physics, a baryon is a type of composite subatomic particle which contains an odd number of valence quarks (at least 3). Baryons belong to the hadron family of particles, which are the quark-based particles. They are also classified as fermions, i.e., they have half-integer spin.

Now I'm not sure of this, but I think that it is the modulus of the spin that is important, so particles with spin -3/2 and -1/2 really are the same than the particles with spin 3/2 and spin 1/2. Removing these degeneracies leaves us with half the particles, and thus there are 182 distinct baryons that can be made from three quarks.
Mesons consist of one quark and one anti-quark which have a spin of ±1/2 (half-integral spins). The spins can be parallel (giving 1, by 1/2+ 1/2=1 ) or anti-parallel (giving 0, by 1/2-1/2=0).

We study photoproduction and radiative decays of pentaquarks paying particular attention to the differences between spin-1/2 and spin-3/2, positive and negative parities of pentaquarks. Detailed study of these processes can not only give crucial information about the spin, but also the parity of pentaquarks.
Excited states of the mesons occur in which the quark spins are aligned, which with zero orbital angular momentum gives j=1. Such states are called vector mesons . The vector mesons have the same spin and parity as photons.
(An interesting one is about rotating a spin particle 360 degrees, and not getting back the exact same wavefunction.) 13. a) What is the Bloch Sphere, and why can we use it to represent spin?
Baryon. Both protons and neutrons, as well as other particles, are baryons. (The other class of hadronic particle is built from a quark and an antiquark and is called a meson .) Baryons are characterized by a baryon number, B, of 1. Their antiparticles, called antibaryons, have a baryon number of −1.
