Interactions in coupled channels pipi, KKbar and an effective 2pi2pi in scalar-isoscalar wave have been analysed. Influence of interchannel couplings on analytical structure of multichannel interaction amplitudes has been studied. Interplay…
We search for strange pentaquark states that have been previously reported by other experiments -- the $\Theta(1540)^+$, $\Xi_5(1860)^{--}$, and $\Xi_5(1860)^0$ -- in 123 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II…
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…
A review is given of the theoretical ideas concerning the mysterious pentaquark baryons proposed during the first year after its discovery. We focus on the difficulties involved with the constituent quark models and the discrepancy between…
We discuss the magnetic moments of the recently discovered exotic baryons Theta(+) and Xi(--) and their multiplet partners in the framework of a naive additive quark model. These baryons are set up as pentaquark states where four quarks and…
We present results for the selfenergy of the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark in nuclei associated with two sources: the $KN$ decay of the $\Theta^+$ and the two meson baryon decay channels of the $\Theta^+$ partners in an antidecuplet of baryons. The…
Multiquark resonances are undoubtedly experimentally observed. The number of states and the amount of details on their properties has been growing over the years. It is very recent the discovery of two pentaquarks and the confirmation of…
The observation of the $T_{c\bar{s}}(2900)$ indicates the potential existence of strange double charm pentaquarks based on the heavy antidiquark symmetry. We systematically study the mass spectra of strange double charm pentaquarks with…
In the spirit of establishing a fair reference for nucleus-nucleus collisions, results on stopping and baryon transfer, correlations of the p+p interaction and their consequences are shown. In the discussion of new results from…
We predict exotic doubly heavy--strange pentaquarks with minimal quark content $u\bar d sQQ'$ ($QQ'=cc,bc,bb$) within a coupled-channel unitary framework where the interaction is derived from an extension of the local hidden gauge approach…
In this work, we investigate the kaon-induced production of strange hidden-charm pentaquark $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}$ states, including the $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4459)$ and $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4338)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration.…
The earlier search at HERMES for narrow baryon states excited in quasi-real photoproduction, decaying through the channel $pK_S^0\rightarrow p\pi^+\pi^-$, has been extended with improved decay-particle reconstruction, more advanced particle…
The recent observation of two hidden-charm pentaquark states by LHCb collaborations prompted us to investigate the exotic states close to the $\bar{D}\Lambda_{\rm c}$, $\bar{D}^{\ast}\Lambda_{\rm c}$, $\bar{D}\Sigma_{\rm c}$,…
The last few years have been witness to a proliferation of new results concerning heavy exotic hadrons. Experimentally, many new signals have been discovered that could be pointing towards the existence of tetraquarks, pentaquarks, and…
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 strange pentaquarks with hidden heavy quark pair ($q^3c\bar c$ and $q^3b \bar b$) are investigated by the coupled-channel quark cluster model. Two types of the $q^3$ color-octet configurations are found to provide the attraction, which…

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration has reported two strange hidden-charm pentaquark states named $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4459)$ and $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4338)$ in the $ J/\psi \Lambda$ invariant mass spectra of decays $\Xi_b^-$$\to$$ J/\psi…
The recent abundant observations of pentaquarks and tetraquarks by high-energy accelerator facilities indicate the realization of the conjecture by Gell-Mann and Zweig, and by De Rujula, Georgi and Glashow [1-3]. We construct a…
Several recent experiments have reported evidence for a narrow baryon resonance with positive strangeness ($\Theta^+$) at a mass of 1.54 GeV/$c^2$. Baryons with $S=+1$ cannot be conventional $qqq$ states and the reports have thus generated…
