The pentaquark state of $\Theta^{+}(uudd\bar{s})$ has been observed to decay with two decay modes: $\Theta^+\to n K^+$ and $\Theta^+ \to p K^0$. The decay probability ratio of the two decay modes is studied with general symmetry…
From a quantum information perspective, verifying quantum coherence in a quantum experiment typically requires adjusting measurement settings or changing inputs. A paradigmatic example is that of a double-slit experiment, where observing…
We derive, in model independent way, the spin structure of the matrix element for the reaction of associative $\Theta^+$ pentaquark production, $\pi^{\pm}+D\to \Theta^+ +\Sigma^{\pm}, $ in the threshold region and in collinear kinematics.…
The pentaquark state recently discovered has been studied with three quark models which either fit the nucleon spin structure or the $NN$ scattering. A minimum $\Theta^+$ mass of 1620 MeV is obtained both for the ${1/2}^\pm$ state. The…
Recently, a comprehensive Bayesian analysis was performed to simultaneously extract the values of a number of hydrodynamic parameters necessary for compatibility with a limited set of experimental data from the LHC. In this work, this…
The reaction pp->p K0 pi+ Lambda has been studied with the ANKE spectrometer at COSY-Juelich at a beam momentum of 3.65 GeV/c in order to search for a possible signal of the pentaquark Theta+(1540), decaying into the p K0 system. By…
A high-resolution (sigma_instr. = 1.5 MeV) search for narrow states (Gamma < 10 MeV) with masses of M_x approx 1500-1850 MeV in ep -> e'K^+ X, e'K^- X and e' pi^+ X electroproduction at small angles and low Q^2 was performed. These states…
We study determination of the parity of the pentaquark baryons in two different processes. First, we investigate the Theta^+ production via the vec{p} vec{p} -> Sigma^+ Theta^+ reaction process which was proposed to determine unambiguously…
The three pentaquark candidates Theta^+(1530), Xi(1862) and Theta^0_c(3100) have been studied in ep collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt{s}=300-318 GeV using the full luminosity of the HERA-I data. Searches for narrow baryonic states…
A signal of two leptons and missing energy is challenging to analyze at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) since it offers only few kinematical handles. This signature generally arises from pair production of heavy charged particles which each…
We analyze the possible existence of a strangeness $S=-3$, isospin $I=1$ pentaquark state $P_{sss}$ generated dynamically from the $\bar{K}\Xi$ interaction. We employ a unitarized scheme in coupled channels based on the chiral Lagrangian…
We consider comparisons of statistical learning algorithms using multiple data sets, via leave-one-in cross-study validation: each of the algorithms is trained on one data set; the resulting model is then validated on each remaining data…
By assuming SU(6)_cs symmetry for pentaquark decays one finds a selection rule, which strongly reduces the number of states able to decay into a baryon and a meson final state and allows an intriguing identification for the Theta^+ particle…
Three different measurements have been reported for the ground state quadrupole polarizability in the singly ionized barium (Ba$^+$) which disagree with each other. Our calculation of this quantity using the relativistic coupled-cluster…
The meta-analysis's utility is dependent on previous studies having accurately captured the variables of interest, but in medical studies, a key decision variable that impacts a physician's decisions was not captured. This results in an…
We discuss the experimental program to search for baryon states with exotic flavor quantum numbers using CLAS at Jefferson Lab.
Motivated by the recent experimental evidence of the exotic B = S = +1 baryonic state Theta(1540), we examine the older existing data on K+ N elastic scattering through the time delay method. We find positive peaks in time delay around…
We study the possibility that at least one of the two pentaquark structures recently reported by LHCb can be described as a compact pentaquark state, and we give predictions for new channels that can be studied by the experimentalists if…
We propose a non-parametric, two-sample Bayesian test for checking whether or not two data sets share a common distribution. The test makes use of data splitting ideas and does not require priors for high-dimensional parameter vectors as do…
The newly discovered exotic $\Theta$ baryon of mass 1540 MeV (and very small width) truly has a very low mass, if it is a pentaquark system of even parity. A schematic model in which the coherent interaction of $u\bar s$ and $d\bar s$ pairs…
