Abstract

We study IJP=03/2±IJ^P=0{3/2}^\pm and 13/2±1{3/2}^\pm pentaquark states with S=+1S=+1 in the QCD sum rule approach. The QCD sum rule for positive parity states and that for negative parity are independently derived. The sum rule suggests that there exist the 03/20{3/2}^- and the 13/21{3/2}^- states. These states may be observed as extremely narrow peaks since they can be much below the SS-wave threshold and since the only allowed decay channels are NKNK in DD-wave, whose centrifugal barriers are so large that the widths are strongly suppressed. The 03/20{3/2}^- state may be assigned to the observed Θ+(1540)\Theta^+(1540) and the 13/21{3/2}^- state can be a candidate for Θ++\Theta^{++}.
