Using mainly $\vec{p}$ p $\to$ p ${\pi^+}X$ and $\vec{p}$ p $\to$ p$_{f}$~p$_{s}$ X reactions, narrow baryonic structures were observed in the mass range 950$\le$ M $\le$ 1800 MeV.
If the exotic baryon $\Theta(1540)$ is $udud\bar{s}$ with $J^P = {1/2}^+$, we predict that there is a \10bar with $J^P = {3/2}^+$ containing a $\Theta^*(1540-1680)$. The width $\Gamma(\Theta^* \to KN)$ is at least a factor of three larger…
We compute the mass spectrum for strange/charmed baryons in the partially quenched approach using N_f=2 twisted mass QCD configurations. We investigate two main issues: the size of lattice artefacts using three values of the lattice spacing…
The newly discovered exotic $\Theta$ baryon of mass 1540 MeV (and very small width) truly has a very low mass, if it is a pentaquark system of even parity. A schematic model in which the coherent interaction of $u\bar s$ and $d\bar s$ pairs…
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…
Thirty years ago we proposed string junction model of hadrons and examined structure and reaction of hadrons including exotic ones. Mass $m$ of exotic hadrons of light quarks is roughly given by $m \sim N_J\cdot m_B$, where $N_J$ is the…
Using the approximate flavor SU(3) symmetry of strong interactions, we argue for the existence of a new Lambda baryon with J^P=3/2^-, the mass around 1850 MeV, the total width of about 130 MeV, significant branching into the Sigma \pi and…
The possibility for an observation of a narrow penta-quark $Z^+$ baryon in $NN$ reactions is discussed. It is shown that the $pp{\to}n\Sigma^+K^+$ reaction at excess energies around 100 MeV above threshold provides optimal conditions for…
We have continued our investigation of the charge-exchange reaction K^+ Xe --> K^0 p Xe' in the bubble chamber DIANA. In agreement with our previous results based on part of the present statistics, formation of a narrow p K^0 resonance with…
We report on the SVD-2 experiment data analysis aimed to search for an exotic baryon state, the $\Theta^+$-baryon, in a $pK^0_s$ decay mode with IHEP U-70 accelerator proton beam at $70 GeV/c$. A resonant structure with…
Recently, Diakonov and Petrov have suggested a formalism in the Relativistic Mean Field Approximation allowing one to derive the 3-, 5-, 7-,... quark wavefunctions for the octet, decuplet and antidecuplet. They have used this formalism and…
In the large $N_c$ limit both heavy and light baryons are described by the universal mean field, which allows us to relate the properties of heavy baryons to light ones. With the only input from the decays of light octet baryons (due to the…
Production cross sections of the pentaquark Theta+ baryon in the meson-induced reactions are calculated for JP=1/2+- and 3/2+- cases. Through the comparison with the previous measurements at KEK, several quantum numbers are excluded. The…
From the interpretation of the $\Theta^+$ baryon resonance as an excitation of the ``skyrmion liquid'' with SU(3) flavor symmetry $\bar{10}$ we deduce a new series of baryons, $\Theta_1^{++}$, $\Theta_1^{+}$ and $\Theta_1^0$, situated at…
This paper aims to give further evidence for the existence of low mass exotic baryons. Narrow structures in baryonic missing mass or baryonic invariant mass were observed during the last twelve years. Since their evidence is still under…
For the first time, the reaction gamma d -> Lambda n K+ has been analyzed in order to search for the exotic pentaquark baryon Theta+(1540). The data were taken at Jefferson Lab, using the Hall-B tagged-photon beam of energy between 0.8 and…
We suggest to classify baryon resonances as single-quark states in a mean field, and/or as its collective excitations. Identifying the Roper resonance N(1440), the nucleon resonance N(1535), and the singlet hyperon Lambda(1405) as…
The width for the mu decay is calculated in the V-A theory leaving open the possibility of non zero neutrino masses. It is shown that not only the agreement with the experimental data is kept, but the smallness of the experimental error…
A light collective theta+ baryon state (with strangeness +1) was predicted via rigid-rotor collective quantization of SU(3) chiral soliton models. This paper explores the validity of this treatment. A number of rather general analyses…
