Frequently, theoretical discussions of multiquark hadron states prove to be contaminated or even dominated by contributions of conventional hadrons. For the approach to QCD bound states in terms of QCD sum rules, we show how to get rid of…
The experimental evidence for pentaquarks, both old an new, is discussed. Constraints due to $K^+N$ scattering data from previous decades is first reviewed, followed by experiments with positive evidence and those with null results.…
We develop a moment QCD sum rule method augmented by fundamental inequalities to study the existence of exotic doubly hidden-charm/bottom tetraquark states made of four heavy quarks. Using the compact diquark-antidiquark configuration, we…
Inspired by the LHCb's observations of hidden-charm $P_{c(s)}$ states, we study their hidden-strange analogues $P_s$ states in both $[udu][\bar ss]$ and $[uds][\bar su]$ configurations. We investigate the $P_s$ pentaquark states in…
In this work, we systematically investigate the mass spectra of fully heavy pentaquark states $QQQQ\bar{Q}$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. Employing three configurations of interpolating currents, we obtain the following mass…
It has been ten years since the first report for a positive strangeness pentaquark-like baryon state. However the existence of the pentaquark state is still controversial. Some contradictions between the experiments are unsolved. In this…
We study the pentaquark $uudd\bar s$ with $J=3/2$ and I=1 ($\Theta^{++}$) in the QCD sum rule approach. We derive the QCD sum rules for positive and negative parity states of the pentaquark. The QCD sum rule predicts that there exists…
We present a study of the pentaquark system in quenched lattice QCD using diquark-diquark and kaon-nucleon local and smeared interpolating fields. We examine the volume dependence of the spectral weights of local correlators on lattices of…
In this work, we tentatively identify the $P_{cs}(4338)$ as the $\bar{D}\Xi_c$ molecular state, and distinguish the isospins of the current operators to explore the $\bar{D}\Xi_c$, $\bar{D}\Lambda_c$, $\bar{D}_s\Xi_c$, $\bar{D}_s\Lambda_c$,…
We review recent progress in studies of bulk thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter, present results on the QCD equation of state and discuss the status of studies of the phase diagram at non-vanishing quark chemical potential.
Recent results on the equation of state from lattice QCD are reviewed. The lattice technique and previous results are shortly discussed. New results for physical quark masses and two sets of lattice spacings are presented. The pressure,…
We present an analysis of the newly observed pentaquark $P_c(4312)^+$ to shed light on its quantum numbers. To do that, the QCD sum rule approach is used. The measured mass of this particle is close to $\Sigma_c^{++}\bar{D}^-$ threshold and…
We consider a $[ud]^2\bar{s}$ current, in the finite-density QCD sum rule approach, to investigate the scalar and vector self-energies of the recently observed pentaquark state $\Theta^+(1540)$, propagating in nuclear mater. We find that,…
We study spin $\frac12$ hadronic states in quenched lattice QCD to search for a possible $S=+1$ pentaquark resonance. Simulations are carried out on $8^3\times 24$, $10^3\times 24$, $12^3\times 24$ and $16^3\times 24$ lattices at…
We use QCD sum rules to study the possible existence of a \Theta c(3250) charmed pentaquark. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension-10 and work at leading order in \alpha_s. We obtain m(\Theta c) = (3.21 +/- 0.13) GeV,…
Motivated by the possible observation of the $\Theta^+(1530)$, we study the quark structure of pentaquark states in quenched lattice QCD. The complete set of 19 local sources that have the proper symmetry for positive or negative parity…
Recent breakthroughs in research and experimentation have led to the identification of numerous exotic states in particle physics. Each new discovery not only sparks excitement for future findings but also fuels interest in uncovering…
Claims concerning the possible discovery of the \Theta^+ pentaquark, with minimal quark content uudd\bar{s}, have motivated our comprehensive study into possible pentaquark states using lattice QCD. We review various pentaquark…
The equation of state of QCD matter at high densities is relevant for neutron star structure and for neutron star mergers and has been a focus of recent work. We show how lattice QCD simulations, free of sign problems, can provide an upper…
In this article I provide an overview of the current state of scattering within lattice QCD, along with ongoing projects that examine weak decays involving scattering states as either final or intermediate states. Significant progress has…
