An interacting quark-diquark model. Strange and nonstrange baryon spectroscopy and other observables

We describe the relativistic interacting quark–diquark model formalism and its application to the calculation of strange and nonstrange baryon spectra. The results are compared to the existing experimental data. We also discuss the application of the model to the calculation of other baryon observables, like baryon magnetic moments, open-flavor strong decays and baryon masses with self-energy corrections.
