It is suggested that the narrow width of the recently observed resonance $\Theta^{+}(1540)$ with strangeness $S=+1$ could be a result of the super-radiance mechanism of the redistribution of the widths of overlapping resonances due to their…
SVD-2 experiment data have been analyzed to search for an exotic baryon state, the $\Theta^+$-baryon, in a $pK^0_s$ decay mode at $70 GeV/c$ on IHEP accelerator. The reaction $pA \to pK^0_s+X$ with a limited multiplicity was used in the…
Baryon resonance state with strangeness $S = +1$ observed in systems $p K^0$ and $n K^+$ is interpreted as a result of the decay $N^{*+} \to p \eta$ of the well-known resonance $N^*(1535)$ (with spin-parity $j^P = {1/2}^-$ and mass $m…
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…
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…
Evidence for a narrow baryon state is found in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel p K^0_S --> p pi^+ pi^-. A peak is observed in the p K^0_S invariant mass spectrum at 1528 +/- 2.6 (stat) +/-2.1…
The mass and decay width of the $\Theta^+(1540)$ with isospin 0 are investigated in a constituent quark model comprising $uudd\bar{s}$ quarks. The resonance state for the $\Theta^+$ is identified as a stable solution in correlated basis…
We study the selfenergy of the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark in nuclei associated with two types of interaction: the KN decay of the $\Theta^+$ and two meson baryon decay channels of the $\Theta^+$. Whereas the potential related to the first source…
The 1/N expansion for exotic baryons is developed, and applied to the masses, meson couplings and decay widths. Masses and widths of the 27 and 35 pentaquark states in the same tower as the Theta+ are related by spin-flavor symmetry. The 27…
The exotic baryon $\Theta^+(uudd\bar{s})$ is studied with microscopic calculations in a quark model by using a method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics(AMD). We predict narrow states, $J^\pi=1/2^+(I=0)$, $J^\pi=3/2^+(I=0)$, and…
In the search for the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryon, the world data on $K^+n\to K^+n$ and $K^+n\to K^0\,p$ reactions on the deuteron target and $K^0\,p\to K^+n$ and $K^0_L\,p\to K^0_S\,p$ reactions on the hydrogen target are revisited to…
Evidence for the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark is still sketchy at the present time. This state, if it exists, has a small width and consequently a small production cross section. No single experiment has overwhelming evidence for the $\Theta^+$…
The $\Theta^+$ pentaquark baryon was searched for via the $\pi^-p\to K^-X$ reaction in a missing-mass resolution of 1.4 MeV/$c^2$(FWHM) at J-PARC. $\pi^-$ meson beams were incident on the liquid hydrogen target with the beam momentum of…
We outline how one can understand the Skyrme model from the modern perspective. We review the quantization of the SU(3) rotations of the Skyrmion, leading to the exotic baryons that cannot be made of three quarks. It is shown that in the…
A narrow resonance peak was observed at 1.54 +/- 0.01 GeV as an exotic baryon with strangeness S = +1 in the gamma + n going to K^+ + K^- + n reaction on Carbon. The new state have a width smaller than 0.025 GeV and a Gaussian significance…
The properties of the Theta^{+} and Xi^{--}_{3/2} exotic baryons have been investigated in the framework of diquark- diquark-antiquark system. A model for diquark suggested in an analogy with the quasi-particle in a crystal lattice has been…
Recent strong experimental evidence of a narrow exotic S = +1 baryon resonance, $\Theta^+$, suggests the existence of other exotic baryons. We discuss the prospects of confirming earlier experimental evidence of $\Theta^+$ and the…
Recently the so-called $\Theta^+$ resonance has been reported first from SPring8\cite{nakano} and many following experiments showed apparent confirmation of the state. Since $\Theta^+$ exclusively decays into either $K^+ n$ or $K^0 p$, it…
The reaction $\gamma p \to pK^+K^-$ was studied at Jefferson Lab with photon energies from 1.8 to 3.8 GeV using a tagged photon beam. The goal was to search for a $\Theta^{++}$ pentaquark, a narrow doubly charged baryon state having…
Several recent experiments have reported evidence for a narrow feature in the K(+)-neutron system, an apparent resonant state ~ 100 MeV above threshold and with a width < 25 MeV. This state has been labelled as Theta(+) (previously as…
