We present a study of the inclusive production in $p \overline p $ collisions of the pentaquark states $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ with the decay to the $J/\psi p$ final state previously observed by the LHCb experiment. Using a sample of…
Hidden-charm pentaquarks are analysed in Group Theory in the baryon-meson molecule picture within the framework of the constituent quark model. The investigation of strong decays of pentaquark resonances reveals that pentaquark states of…
The photoproduction rate of pentaquark $\Theta^+$ is calculated in a hot and dense medium. At high temperature and density, due to the restoration of chiral symmetry, photoproduction energy threshold is increased. Above the thresold the…
The recently observed strange pentaquark candidate, $P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4338){}^0$, is investigated to provide information about its nature and substructure. To this end, its mass and width through the decay channels $P_{\psi…
It was proposed that the narrow $P_c(4450)$ structure observed by the LHCb Collaboration in the reaction $\Lambda_b\to J/\psi p K$ might be due to a triangle singularity around the $\chi_{c1}$--proton threshold at 4.45~GeV. We discuss the…
We study the cross sections for the electro-production of $P_c(4312)$ particle, a recently discovered pentaquark state, in electron-proton collisions assuming possible quantum numbers to be $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^\pm, \frac{3}{2}^\pm$.…
We consider hidden charm pentaquarks as hadroquarkonium states in a QCD inspired approach. Pentaquarks arise naturally as bound states of quarkonia excitations and ordinary baryons. The LHCb $P_c(4450)$ pentaquark is interpreted as a…
The exclusive reaction $\gamma p \to \bar K^0 K^+ n$ was studied in the photon energy range between 1.6-3.8 GeV searching for evidence of the exotic baryon $\Theta^+(1540)\to nK^+$. The decay to $nK^+$ requires the assignment of strangeness…
We argue that a hidden-charm pentaquark recently observed in weak decays of $\Lambda_{b}$ can be produced in proton-nucleus collisions without electroweak intermediaries. We analyze the production cross-section for several scenarios of…
Strange hidden-charm pentaquark states have been systematically investigated within a diquark-triquark model. Through a Gaussian expansion method, masses of some diquarks, triquarks and strange hidden-charmed pentaquark states from S-wave…
The LHCb Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN discovered two pentaquark states $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$. These two hidden-charm states are interpreted as the loosely bound $\Sigma_c(2455)D^*$ and $\Sigma_c^*(2520)D^*$…
The pentaquark $P_c^+(4450)$ recently discovered by LHCb has been interpreted as a bound state of $\Psi(2S)$ and nucleon. The charmonium-nucleon interaction which provides the binding mechanism is given, in the heavy quark limit, in terms…
We study the lepton-induced resonant production of color-adjoint leptons (leptogluons) at the LHC employing the lepton parton density function of the proton. We demonstrate that this production mechanism can be useful to extend the LHC…
After brief discussion of how the quantum interference may influence manifestations of resonances, description is given of the recent experimental evidence for possible manifestation of the \Theta^{+}-photoproduction in interference with…
We find no evidence for high-energy photoproduction of pentaquarks at 1540 MeV/$c^2$, 1862 MeV/$c^2$, or 3099 MeV/$c^2$ using decay modes $pK_S^0$, $\Xi^-\pi^-$, and $D^{(*)-}p$, respectively.
In this work, we report on a theoretical study of possible pentaquark states $\Lambda^0_b(5912)$ and $\Lambda^0_b(5920)$ in the $\gamma{}p\to{}\Lambda_b^{0(*)}B^+$ reactions within an effective Lagrangian approach. In addition to the…
We consider the production of dark matter in association with a pair of top quarks, mediated by a scalar or pseudoscalar particle in a generic Simplified Model. We demonstrate that the difference of azimuthal angle between the two leptons…
Theoretical predictions for the production cross sections of leptoquarks at the CERN LHC are presented including higher-order QCD corrections. These corrections reduce the dependence on the renormalization/factorization scales…
Extending the hadronic Lagrangians that we recently introduced for studying pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryon production from meson-proton, proton-proton, and photon-proton reactions near threshold to include the anomalous interaction between…
We extend our previous study of the interactions of $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Lambda_c - \bar{D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ within an analytic, unitary, coupled-channel approach by including the $J/\psi p$ channel and performing fits to the $J/\psi p$…
