The interaction of the charmed baryon and the anticharmed meson is assumed to be realized by exchanging a scalar meson of $f_0(500)$, and then these systems are studied by solving the Schrodinger equation, respectively. When the pentaquarks…
The discussion of the 70-plet of negative parity baryons illustrates the large Nc QCD approach to orbitally excited baryons. In the case of the l=1 baryons the existing data allows to make numerous predictions to first order in the SU(3)…
We investigate three possible pentaquark candidates, one of which contains a single charm quark and the other two contain triple charm quarks in their substructure. To this end we apply QCD sum rule method and take into account both the…
We propose a collective stringlike model of pentaquarks with the geometry of an equilateral tetrahedron in which the four quarks are located at the four corners and the antiquark in its center. The nonplanar equilibrium configuration is a…
Within the framework of the quark delocalization color screening model, a systematic investigation of the anticharmed-strange pentaquark system is performed using the resonance group method. The currently estimations predict three bound…
Fluctuations of conserved charges such as baryon number, electric charge and strangeness may provide a test for completeness of states in lattice QCD for three light flavors. We elaborate on the idea that the corresponding susceptibilities…
The newly observed $\Theta^+$ resonance is believed to be a pentaquark with the constituent quarks $uudd\bar s$. There are a few options for the constituent quark structure. Some advocate diquark-diquark-antiquark $(ud)$-$(ud)$-$\bar s$…
We investigate the symmetry property and construct the wave function of the dibaryon states containing two strange quarks with S=0 in both the flavor SU(3) symmetric and breaking cases. We discuss how the color $\otimes$ isospin $\otimes$…
The heavy quarkonium spectrum of Two Color QCD (QC$_2$D) at non-zero quark chemical potential $\mu$ and temperature $T$ with $\mu/T\gg1$ has been calculated in both $S$- and $P$-wave channels using a lattice non-relativistic formulation of…
We perform a theoretical study on the spectrum of the low-lying hidden-bottom ($q\bar{q}b\bar{b}$ with $q=$ $u$, $d$ and $s$) and double-bottom ($q\bar{q}bb$) tetraquark states within a nonrelativistic quark model, in which the…
We review recent progress in our understanding of the nucleon excitation spectrum. Thanks to dedicated efforts at facilities such as ELSA, MAMI and Jefferson Lab, several new nucleon resonances have been discovered, and evidence for…
We calculate the masses of the $qq\bar q\bar q$ tetraquark ground state and first radial excited state in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and one-gluon exchange spin-spin coupling are employed. The three coupling…
The pentaquarks are exotic baryons formed of four quarks and an antiquarks. Their existence has been discussed in the literature over the last 30 years or more, first in connection with kaon nucleon scattering data. The subject has been…
We investigate the mass spectrum of the pentaquark baryon ($ udud \bar s $) in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. Using 3 different interpolating operators for $ \Theta $, we measure the $ 3 \times 3 $ correlation matrix and…
We use QCD sum rules to study mass spectra of $P$-wave charmed baryons of the $SU(3)$ flavor $\mathbf{6}_F$. We also use light-cone sum rules to study their $S$- and $D$-wave decays into ground-state charmed baryons together with light…
Recent results on light hadron spectroscopy are reported, with special emphasis on the evidence for a narrow baryonic state decaying to Ks p and Ks pbar, compatible with the pentaquark state theta^+ observed by fixed target experiments. The…
Considered are ${\cal N}=2\, SU(N_c)$ or $U(N_c)$ SQCD with $N_F<2N_c-1$ quark flavors with the quark mass term $m{\rm Tr}\,({\bar Q} Q)$ in the superpotential. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry is softly broken down to ${\cal N}=1$ by the mass…
In a one-boson-exchange model, we study molecular states of double-charm baryon ($\Xi_{cc}(3621)$) and a charmed meson ($D$ and $D^*$). Our model indicates that there exist two possible triple-charm molecular pentaquarks, a $\Xi_{cc}D$…
In this work, we investigate the double-heavy molecular pentaquark states with the quark contents $ccss\bar{s}$, $bbss\bar{s}$, and $bcss\bar{s}$ by using the coupled channel approach. The extended local hidden gauge Lagrangians are used to…
We study compact hidden charm pentaquarks in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, previously introduced for tetraquarks, assuming the heavy pair to be in a color octet. We show that Fermi statistics applied to the complex of the three light…
