We study pentaquark $\Theta^{+} (I=0,J=1/2)$ in the QCD sum rules emphasizing that we can not extract any properties of the pentaquark outside of the Borel window. To find the appropriate Borel window, we prepare a favorable set up of the…
The exclusive reactions $\gamma p \to \bar K^0 K^+ n$ and $\gamma p \to \bar K^0 K^0 p$ have been studied in the photon energy range 1.6--3.8 GeV, searching for evidence of the exotic baryon $\Theta^+(1540)$ in the decays $\Theta^+\to nK^+$…
The reaction K^+Xe->K^0pX is investigated in a meson-exchange model including rescattering of the secondary protons with the aim to analyze the evidence for the Theta^+(1540) resonance reported by the DIANA collaboration. We confirm that…
The experimental signature of an S=+1 baryon of mass 1540 MeV and width 10-25 MeV has led to speculation that this is an exotic baryon consisting of 4 quarks and 1 antiquark lying at the top of a $\bar{10}$ SU(3) multiplet. The observed…
In a diquark-diquark-antiquark picture of the pentaquark we study the decay $\Theta \rightarrow K^{+} n$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. After evaluation of the relevant three-point function, we extract the coupling $g_{\Theta nK}$…

Using the QCD string theory, we investigate the physical reason of the narrow width of penta-quark baryons in terms of the large gluonic-excitation energy. In the QCD string theory, the penta-quark baryon decays via a gluonic-excited state…
The data on the reactions K^+Xe --> K^0 \gamma X and K^+Xe --> K^+ \gamma X, obtained with the bubble chamber DIANA, have been analyzed for possible radiative decays of the \Theta^+(1540) baryon: \Theta^+ --> K^0 p \gamma and \Theta^+ -->…
Roles of instanton induced interactions (III) in the masses of pentaquark baryons, Theta^+ (J=1/2 and 3/2) and Xi^{--}, and a dibaryon, H, are discussed using the MIT bag model. It is shown that the two-body terms in III give a strong…
We reexamine properties of the baryon antidecuplet $\Theta^+$ and $N^*$, and the $\pi N$ sigma term within the framework of a chiral soliton model, focusing on their dependence on the $\Theta^+$ mass. It turns out that the measured value of…
Production of pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryons in central relativistic heavy ion collisions is studied in a kinetic model. Assuming that a quark-gluon plasma is produced in the collisions, we first determine the number of $\Theta^+$ produced…
Using the picture of the flux tube model, we propose that the $\Theta_5$ pentaquark as the first candidate of the three-dimensional non-planar hadron with the extremely stable diamond structure. The up and down quarks lie at the corners of…
We consider the possibility that the lightest pentaquark is a parity even state, with one unit of orbital angular momentum. Working within the framework of a constituent quark model, we show that dominant spin-flavor interactions render…
The spectra of pentaquarks, some of them being observed recently, are discussed within topological soliton model and compared with simplified quark picture. Results obtained within chiral soliton model depend to some extent on the…
