Abstract

We investigate Theta^+ production via gamma N and NN reactions in order to obtain information on the structure of Theta^+, especially its parity. We observe that the positive parity. Theta^+production provides about ten times total cross sections than those of the negative parity one in both photon and nucleon induced reactions due to P-wave enhancement of the KNTheta vertex. We also consider the model independent method in the nucleon induced reaction to determine the parity of Theta^+ and show clearly distinguishable signals for the two parities.
