We study spin 1/2 isoscalar and isovector candidates in both parity channels for the recently discovered \Theta^+(1540) pentaquark particle in quenched lattice QCD. Our analysis takes into account all possible uncertainties, such as…
In a modified chromomagnetic interaction model, assuming $X(4140)$ to be the lowest $1^{++}$ $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark and treating it as the reference state, we systematically investigated the masses of the triply-heavy tetraquark…
Starting with the Strongly Correlated Quark Model of a hadron structure, SCQM, we demonstrate how the properties of mesons and baryons are modified in a hot and dense nuclear environment. These in-medium modifications can lead to the…
We investigate the production of the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryon via the $\gamma n\to K^-\Theta^+$ and $\gamma p\to \bar{K}^0 \Theta^+$ processes, focusing on the parity of the $\Theta^+$. Using the effective Lagrangians, we calculate the…
We present a calculation of the three-quark core contribution to the mass of the Delta-baryon in a Poincare-covariant Faddeev framework. A consistent setup for the dressed-quark propagator, the quark-quark and quark-diquark interactions is…
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…
In this work, we systematically study the mass spectrum of the fully heavy tetraquark in an extended chromomagnetic model, which includes both color and chromomagnetic interactions. Numerical results indicate that the energy level is mainly…
We perform a QCD sum rule analysis for the pentaquark baryon Theta^+ with the non-interacting $KN$ contribution treated carefully. The coupling of the Theta^+ current to the $KN$ state is evaluated by applying the soft kaon theorem and…
$\Lambda^+_c$ hypernuclei are expected to have binding energies and other properties similar to those of strange hypernuclei in view of the similarity between the quark structures of the strange and charmed hyperons, namely $\Lambda(uds)$…
The masses of $uudd\bar s $ and $uudd\bar d$ pentaquarks are evaluated in a framework of the Effective Hamiltonian approach to QCD using the Jaffe-Wilczek $[ud]^2\bar q$ approximation. The mass of the $[ud]^2\bar s$ state is found to be…
Recently, the 1/Nc expansion has been applied to the study of exotic baryons containing both quarks and antiquarks. We extend this approach to exotic states with mixed symmetric spin-flavor symmetry, which correspond in the quark model to…
A systematic study of multiquark exotics with one or $N_c-1$ heavy quarks in the large $N_c$ limit is presented. By binding a chiral soliton to a heavy meson, either a normal $N_c$-quark baryon or an exotic $(N_c+2)$-quark baryon is…
The angular distributions of the baryon-antibaryon low-mass enhancements seen in the charmless three-body baryonic B decays B+ -> p pbar K+, B0 -> p pbar Ks, and B0 -> p Lambdabar pi- are reported. A quark fragmentation interpretation is…
We investigate the $D{\bar D}$ decay width of excited charmonium states at finite nuclear density with simultaneous modification of both $D$ and ${\bar D}$ mesons in nuclear matter. The strongest effect is found for the $\Psi^{\prime}$…
Possibility of an axial vector isoscalar tetraquark with $ud\bar{s}\bar{s}$ is discussed. If the pentaquark $\Theta^+(1540)$ has the $(qq)_{\bar{3}}(qq)_{\bar{3}}\bar{q}$ configuration, the isoscalar $ud\bar{s}\bar{s}$($\vartheta^+$-meson)…
If the Theta^+(1540) is interpreted as a bound state of a $\bar s$ quark and two (ud) diquarks in a relative P-wave, then it is very likely that there exist pentaquark states with a heavy antiquark, $\bar b$ or $\bar c$, and two ``light''…
The strange-anticharmed Pentaquark is a $uud\bar{c}s$ or $udd\bar{c}s$ five-quark baryon that is expected to be either a narrow resonance, or possibly even stable against strong and electromagnetic decay. We describe this hyperon here, its…
We will summarize the progress in understanding the changes in the vector meson spectral density in nuclear medium using the constraint equations obtained from the Borel transformed dispersion relation and QCD Operator Product Expansion. We…

We study the very recently discovered $\Theta^+$ (1540) at SPring-8, at ITEP and at CLAS-Thomas Jefferson Lab. We apply the same RGM techniques that already explained with success the repulsive hard core of nucleon-nucleon, kaon-nucleon…
