Developing the calculation techniques to fivefold heavy hadrons, we perform the study of novel fully-heavy $QQQQ\bar{Q}$ pentaquark states by the QCD sum rule approach that is firmly based on the QCD basic theory. Numerically, masses of…
We determine $\Lambda_{\bar{\textrm{MS}}}^{(n_f=2)}$ by fitting perturbative expressions for the quark-antiquark static potential to lattice results for QCD with $n_f=2$ dynamical quark flavors. To this end we use the perturbative static…
Adding chemical potential $\mu$ linearly as $\mu N$ to the lattice QCD action, where $N$ is a conserved quark/baryon number, leads to a quadratic divergence as $a^{-2}$. We argue that it is inherited from the continuum theory and can be…
We perform the first studies of various inter-quark potentials in SU(3)$_{\rm c}$ lattice QCD. From the accurate lattice calculation for more than 300 different patterns of three-quark (3Q) systems, we find that the static 3Q potential…
Simulations of quenched $QCD$ at relatively small but {\it nonzero} chemical potential $\mu$ on $32 \times 16^3$ lattices indicate that the nucleon screening mass decreases linearly as $\mu$ increases predicting a critical chemical…
We discuss the quenched limit of lattice QCD at non-zero baryon number density. We find evidence for a mixed phase that becomes broader with increasing baryon number. Although the action is explicitly Z(3) symmetric the Polyakov loop…
In this paper we study the interactions among a static quark-antiquark pair in the presence of dense two-color quark matter with lattice simulation. To this end we compute Polyakov line correlation functions and determine the renormalized…
We present results on the static three- and four-quark potentials in SU(3) and SU(4) respectively within quenched lattice QCD. We use an analytic multi-hit procedure for the time links and a variational approach to determine the ground…
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 $(ud)$-$(ud)$-$\bar s$…
Temporal quark correlation functions are analyzed in quenched lattice QCD for two values of temperature above the critical temperature (Tc) for deconfinement, T=1.5Tc and 3Tc. A two-pole ansatz for the quark spectral function is used to…
The pentaquark width is calculated in QCD sum rules. The higher dimension operators contribution is accounted. It is shown, that $\Gamma_{\Theta}$ should be very small, less than $1Mev$.
The mass and meson-current coupling of the diquark-antidiquark states with the quantum numbers $J^{P}=0^{+}$ and quark contents $Z_{q}=[cq][\bar {b} \bar q ]$ and $Z_{s}=[cs][\bar {b} \bar s]$ are calculated using two-point QCD sum rule…
