Interaction of the $\Theta^+$ with the nuclear medium

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study the selfenergy of the Θ+\Theta^+ pentaquark in nuclei associated with two types of interaction: the KN decay of the Θ+\Theta^+ and two meson baryon decay channels of the Θ+\Theta^+. Whereas the potential related to the first source is quite weak, the second kind of interaction produces a large and attractive potential that could lead to the existence of Θ+\Theta^+ nuclear bound states.
