Abstract

We report the recent results of the magnetic transitions and axial-vector transitions of the baryon antidecuplet within the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model. The dynamical model parameters are fixed by experimental data for the magnetic moments of the baryon octet, for the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, and for the singlet axial-vector constant. The transition magnetic moments μΛΣ\mu_{\Lambda\Sigma} and μNΔ\mu_{N\Delta} are well reproduced and other octet-decuplet and octet-antidecuplet transitions are predicted. In particular, the present calculation of μΣΣ\mu_{\Sigma\Sigma^*} is found to be below the upper bound 0.82μN0.82\mu_N that the SELEX collaboration measured very recently. The results explains consistently the recent findings of a new NN^* resonance from the GRAAL and Tohoku LNS group. We also obtain the transition axial-vector constants for the Θ+KN\Theta^+\to KN from which the decay width of the Θ+\Theta^{+} pentaquark baryon is determined as a function of the pion-nucleon sigma term ΣπN\Sigma_{\pi N}. We investigate the dependence of the decay width of the Θ+\Theta^{+} on the gA(0)g_{A}^{(0)}, with the gA(0)g_{A}^{(0)} varied within the range of the experimental uncertainty. We show that a small decay width of the Θ+KN\Theta^{+}\to KN, i.e. ΓΘKN1\Gamma_{\Theta KN} \leq 1 MeV, is compatible with the values of all known semileptonic decays with the generally accepted value of gA(0)0.3g_{A}^{(0)} \approx 0.3 for the proton.
