Abstract

We propose S=+1 baryon interpolating operators, which are based on an exotic description of the antidecuplet baryon like diquark-diqaurk-antiquark. By using one of the new operators, the mass spectrum of the spin-1/2 pentaquark states is calculated in quenched lattice QCD at β=6/g2=6.2\beta=6/g^2=6.2 on a 323×4832^3\times48 lattice. It is found that the JPJ^P assignment of the lowest Θ(uuddsˉ)\Theta(uudd \bar s) state is most likely (1/2)(1/2)^-. We also calculate the mass of the charm analog of the Θ\Theta and find that the Θc(uuddcˉ)\Theta_c(uudd \bar c) state lies much higher than the DNDN threshold, in contrast to several model predictions.
