Having successfully explored the existing relations between the S-matrix and collision times in scattering reactions to study the conventional baryon and meson resonances, the method is now extended to the exotic sector. To be specific, the…
We have studied the $\gamma d \to K^+ K^- n p$ reaction in which the LEPS collaboration found a signal in the $K^+ n$ invariant mass for the claimed $\Theta(1540)$ pentaquark peak. Our study reveal that the procedure used at LEPS to…
Since all couplings of the exotic $\Theta^+$ baryon to normal hadrons seem to be small it is hard to reveal it in standard resonance searching. We suggest to look for the $\Theta^+$ production in interference with a known resonance yielding…
We report on the SVD-2 experiment data analysis aimed to search for an exotic baryon state, the $\Theta^+$-baryon, in a $pK^0_s$ decay mode with IHEP U-70 accelerator proton beam at $70 GeV/c$. A resonant structure with…
We present the results of a coupled-channel model for $\bar{K}N$ scattering in the resonance region. The model fulfills unitarity, has the correct analytical properties for the amplitudes and the partial waves have the right threshold…
Thirty years ago we proposed string junction model of hadrons and examined structure and reaction of hadrons including exotic ones. Mass $m$ of exotic hadrons of light quarks is roughly given by $m \sim N_J\cdot m_B$, where $N_J$ is the…
In order to describe Lambda(1405) as a resonance in the baryon-meson scattering, we have investigated q^3-q qbar scattering system with the flavor-singlet q^3 (0s)^2(0p) state (the Lambda^1 pole). The scattering is treated by the quark…
The strange-anticharmed Pentaquark is a $uud\bar{c}s$ or $udd\bar{c}s$ five-quark baryon that is expected to be either a narrow resonance, or possibly even stable against strong and electromagnetic decay. We describe this hyperon here, its…
We investigate the pentaquark system $qqqs \bar q$ in a framework of chiral quark model. Two structures, $(qqq)(s\bar{q})$ and $(qqs)(q\bar{q})$, with all possible color, spin, flavor configurations are considered. The calculations show…
The Skyrme model is reconsidered from an effective theory point of view. From the most general chiral Lagrangian up to including terms of order $p^4$, $N_c$ and $\delta m^2$ ($\delta m\equiv m_s-m$), new interactions, which have never been…
If the exotic baryon $\Theta^+(1540)$ is a correlated $udud\bar{s}$ with $J^P = {1/2}^+$, then there should exist an exotic meson, $J^P = 1^-$ $\vartheta^+ (S=+2)$ $\to K^+K^0$ $\sim 1.6$GeV with width $O(10-100)$MeV. The $\pi_1(1400;1600)$…
We explore the phenomenology of, and models for, the Z^* resonances, the lowest of which is now well established, and called the Theta. We provide an overview of three models which have been proposed to explain its existence and/or its…
Exotic multi-quark states are examined in the quark model and in QCD. Current status of theoretical studies of the pentaquark Theta^+ is reported. We show recent analyses of multi-quark components of baryons. A novel method to extract a…
A narrow baryon resonance is observed in invariant mass of the pKshort system formed in neutrino and antineutrino collisions with nuclei. The mass of the resonance is estimated as (1533+-5)MeV. The observed width is less than 20 MeV, and is…
The exotic baryon $\Theta^+$ (1540 MeV)$ is visualised as an expected (iso) rotational excitation in the Chiral Soliton Model. It is also argued as a Pentaquark baryon state in a constituent quark model with strong diquark correlations. I…
We present two possibilities to determine the P-parity of the pentaquark $\Theta^+$, in a model independent way, via the measurement of polarization observables in $p+p\to \Theta^+ +\Sigma^+$, or $n+p\to \Theta^+ +\Lambda^0$, in the near…
We analyze the problem of how to determine the parity of the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark in the reaction $\gamma N\to K\Theta\to NK\bar{K}$, where $N=n,p$. Our model calculations indicate that the contribution of the non-resonant background of…
We study the effect of representation mixing in the SU(3) Skyme model by diagonalizing exactly the representation-dependent part. It is observed that even without the next-to-leading order symmetry breaking terms the low-lying baryon masses…
The existence of quantized vibrations is utilized to explain narrow nucleon resonances below the pion threshold. A Goldstone boson with a mass of 35 MeV is derived from the experimental dibaryon masses. The quantum of 35 MeV is recognized…
We perform a QCD sum rule analysis for the pentaquark baryon Theta^+ with the non-interacting $KN$ contribution treated carefully. The coupling of the Theta^+ current to the $KN$ state is evaluated by applying the soft kaon theorem and…
