Pentaquark baryons $\Theta^{+}$ and $\Xi^{--}$ are studied in the dual gravity theory of QCD in which simple mass formulae of pentaquarks are derived in the Maldacena prototype model for supersymmetric QCD and a more realistic model for…
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…
The properties of three new particles X(3872), Y(3940) and Z(3931), recently dicovered by the Belle collaboration, are briefly reviewed. Negative results of the search for the pentaquark $\Theta(1540)^+$ are also presented
A summary of experimental results from the Pentaquark 2004 Workshop held at the SPring-8 facility in Japan is given. New results from the LEPS collaboration are highlighted, and older results are reviewed. Non-observations are also…
Motivated by the recently reported resonant structure $X(2300)$, a strong candidate for a fully strange tetraquark with positive parity, we perform a systematic study of fully strange tetra- and penta-quark systems within a chiral 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 study the pentaquark $uudd\bar s$ with $J=3/2$ and I=1 ($\Theta^{++}$) in the QCD sum rule approach. We derive the QCD sum rules for positive and negative parity states of the pentaquark. The QCD sum rule predicts that there exists…
The kaon nuclear optical potential is studied including the effect of the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark. The one-nucleon contribution is obtained using an extension of the J\"ulich meson-exchange potential as bare kaon-nucleon interaction.…
Prompted by the recent surprising results in QCD spectroscopy, we extend to heavy flavors the hadron mass relations showing that the constituent quark mass differences and ratios have the same values when obtained from mesons and baryons.…
We calculate the properties of the pentaquarks $\Theta^+$ and $\Xi^{--,0}$ in symmetric nuclear matter using the quark meson coupling model (QMC). The stability of the $\Theta^+$ in the medium with respect to the channel $\Theta^+\to NK^+$…
Inspired by the observation of the $P_{cs}(4459)$ and $P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4338)$, we systematically investigate the magnetic moments, the transition magnetic moments, and the radiative decay behaviors of the $S$-wave isoscalar…
The new strange pentaquarks observed by LHCb are very likely hadronic molecules consisting of $\Xi_c \bar D$ and $\Xi_c \bar D^{*}.$ We discuss the experimental evidence supporting this conclusion, pointing out the similarities and…
We present constraints on the {\it relative} photoproduction cross sections of positive parity pentaquark states, $\Sigma_5$, $\Lambda_5$, and $N_5$, based on a minimum phenomenology gained in $\gamma N \to K \Theta^+$ and their…
Motivated by the observation of the first hidden charm pentaquarks by the LHCb collaboration in 2015 and the updated analysis with an order-of-magnitude larger data set in 2019, we estimate their cross sections for the prompt production as…
In this article, we take the point of view that the pentaquark state $\Theta^+(1540)$ has negative parity, and choose the diquark-triquark type interpolating current to calculate the strong coupling constant $g_{\Theta NK}$ in the QCD sum…
We argue that a width of less than MeV of the new Theta resonance is inconsistent with the observed ratio of resonance and background events in the various photon initiated experiments if the latter can be described by K, K*, etc.,…
We rewiew and scrutinize the existing mass determinations of the pentaquarks from the exponential Laplace Sum Rules (LSR). We do not find any sum rule window for extracting optimal and reliable results from the LSR, due to the unusual slow…
The relativistic generalization of Faddeev-Yakubovsky approach is constructed in the form of the dispersion relations. The five-quark amplitudes for the low-lying pentaquarks contain u,d,s-quarks. The poles of these amplitudes determine the…
Recently several experiments have reported evidences for pentaquark $\Theta^+$. H1 experiment at HERA-B has also reported evidence for $\Theta_c$. $\Theta^+$ is interpreted as a bound state of an $\bar s$ with other four light quarks $udud$…
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…
