Abstract
Radiative decays of the spin 1/2 baryonic resonances R with the decay mode R -> KN in case of small energy release are considered. Pentaquark is an example of such resonance. It is shown that in case of positive resonance parity corrections to the soft photon radiation formula are large even at low photon energies > 20 MeV and structure terms contributions may be essential, if R size > 1 fm. This effect is absent in case of negative parity. Particularly, measurements of the gamma spectrum in pentaquark radiative decays may allow us to determine its parity.
