A narrow pentaquark state, $P_c(4312)^+$, decaying to $J/\psi p$ is discovered with a statistical significance of $7.3\sigma$ in a data sample of ${\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-}$ decays which is an order of magnitude larger than that…

The exotic baryon $\Theta^+(uudd\bar{s})$ is studied with microscopic calculations in a quark model by using a method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. We predict that the lowest even state is $J^\pi=1/2^+(I=0)$ or $J^\pi=3/2^+(I=0)$,…
In the experiment with the SPHINX spectrometer in 1995-99 a new baryon state X(2000) -> Sigma^0K^+ was observed in the proton diffractive reactions p + N(C) -> Sigma^0K^+ + N(C). The main parameters of X(2000)^+ baryon are M = 1986 +- 6…
This paper presents the result of a search for a narrow strange baryonic state in the invariant-mass distribution of $pK^0_S(\overline{p}K^0_S)$ in HERA II data (2003-2007). The search was performed in the deep inelastic scattering (DIS)…
The magnetic moment of a baryon state is an equally important dynamical observable as its mass, which encodes crucial information of its underlying structure. According to the different color-flavor structure, we have calculated the…
The masses of $1^{--}$ P-wave charmonium-like and bottomonium-like tetraquark states are calculated in a constituent quark model (CQM) where the Cornell-like potential and Breit-Fermi interaction are employed. All model parameters were…
The gamma n -> K+ K- n reaction on 12C has been studied by measuring both K+ and K- at forward angles. A sharp baryon resonance peak was observed at 1.54 +- 0.01 GeV with a width smaller than 25 MeV and a Gaussian significance of 4.6 sigma.…

Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs. If one $J/\psi$ meson is replaced with a fully charmed baryon, we obtain a fully charmed pentaquark…

We have searched for Theta+(1.54) -> K0,p decays using data from the 1999 run of the HyperCP experiment at Fermilab. We see no evidence for a narrow peak in the K0,p mass distribution near 1.54 GeV/c among 106,000 K0,p candidates, and…
The pentaquark state recently discovered has been studied with three quark models which either fit the nucleon spin structure or the $NN$ scattering. A minimum $\Theta^+$ mass of 1620 MeV is obtained both for the ${1/2}^\pm$ state. The…
