Exclusive Electroproduction of Pentaquarks

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Exclusive electroproduction of a K or K^* meson on the nucleon can give a Theta^+ pentaquark in the final state. This reaction offers an opportunity to investigate the structure of pentaquark baryons at parton level. We discuss the generalized parton distributions for the N -> Theta^+ transition and give the leading order amplitude for electroproduction in the Bjorken regime.
