The pentaquark is studied in a simple model of confinement where the quarks and the antiquark are linked by flux tubes of minimal cumulated length, and the Coulomb-like interaction, the spin-dependent terms and the antisymmetrization…
We investigate the negative-parity baryon spectra in quenched lattice QCD. We employ the anisotropic lattice with standard Wilson gauge and O(a) improved Wilson quark actions at three values of lattice spacings with renormalized anisotropy…
We demonstrate that a five quark state of positive parity with an internal P-wave structure - usually pictured as a composite of an antiquark and two diquarks in a P-wave state - can couple to nucleons and Goldstone particles in a chirally…
The analysis of the sum rules (for two differentchoices of 5-quark currents) indicate that to explain experimental results it is necessary to have some one-particle lower state (and pentaquark is a reliable candidate to this state) while…
If Jaffe and Wilczek's diquark picture for $\Theta_5$ pentaquark is correct, there should also exist a $SU_F$(3) pentaquark octet and singlet with no orbital excitation between the diquark pair, hence $J^P={1/2}^-$. These states are lighter…
The pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$, could be nicely arranged into a multiplet of seven molecules of $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}$ dictated by heavy quark spin symmetry. However, the spins of…
Recent breakthroughs in research and experimentation have led to the identification of numerous exotic states in particle physics. Each new discovery not only sparks excitement for future findings but also fuels interest in uncovering…
The observation of the $P_{cs}(4459)$ by the LHCb collaboration adds a new member to the set of known hidden-charm pentaquarks, which includes the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$. The $P_{cs}(4459)$ is expected to have the…
The experimental signature of an S=+1 baryon of mass 1540 MeV and width 10-25 MeV has led to speculation that this is an exotic baryon consisting of 4 quarks and 1 antiquark lying at the top of a $\bar{10}$ SU(3) multiplet. The observed…
A study is presented of the $s-$wave meson-meson interactions involving members of the $\rho-$nonet and of the $\pi-$octet. The starting point is an SU(6) spin-flavor extension of the SU(3) flavor Weinberg-Tomozawa Lagrangian. SU(6)…
Anti-decuplet penta-quark baryon is studied with the quenched anisotropic lattice QCD for accurate measurement of the correlator. Both the positive and negative parity states are studied using a non-NK type interpolating field with I=0 and…
Additional broader I=0 states in the KN channel near $\Theta^+$(1540) are expected in many models, making the absence of any signature in the K$^+$-deuteron scattering data even more puzzling. In an ideal "three-body" picture the $\Theta$…
Investigations of the existence of pentaquark states containing a single $b$ (anti)quark decaying weakly into four specific final states J/$\psi K^+\pi^- p$, J/$\psi K^- \pi^- p$, J/$\psi K^- \pi^+ p$, and $J/\psi \phi (1020) p$ are…
Inspired by the LHCb's discovery of hidden-charm pentaquarks, the anticharmed strange pentaquarks $P_{\bar c s}$ in a favor of the hadronic molecule picture are investigated from the one-boson-exchange model. Similar to the hidden-charm…
Several compact $sssc\bar c$ pentaquark resonances are predicted in a potential quark model. The Hamiltonian is the best available one, which reproduces the masses of the low-lying charmed and strange hadrons well. Full five-body…
The experimental evidence for pentaquarks, both old an new, is discussed. Constraints due to $K^+N$ scattering data from previous decades is first reviewed, followed by experiments with positive evidence and those with null results.…
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…
The observation of the two states $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4445)$ [Phys.Rev.Lett. 115 (2015) 072001] solids the existence of the pentaquark state in Nature. In this work, we study the spectrum of the pentaquark states including one or two heavy…
Recent LHCb experiments have shown us that there are two resonances in the $J/\psi p$ channel in the $\Lambda_b$ decay, whose spin and parity are most probably (3/2$^-$ 5/2$^+$). In this work, we investigate the $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^-)$,…
Several experimental groups have reported evidence for baryons with flavor exotic quantum numbers that cannot be explained as $qqq$ bound states but require a minimum of five quarks -- $qqqq \bar q$. These pentaquark states include the…
