Using a relativized diquark model Hamiltonian, we calculate the masses of $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ ground-state tetraquarks in the following systems: $b s \bar b \bar s$, $bb \bar n \bar n$ ($n=u, d$), $bb \bar s \bar s$, $cc\bar c \bar c$, $b b…
Pentaquark baryons are a natural expectation of an extended picture of hadrons where quarks and diquarks are the fundamental units. The parity/mass pattern observed, when compared to that of exotic mesons, appears as the footprint of a…
We investigate the symmetry property and the stability of the heptaquark containing two identical heavy antiquarks using color-spin interaction. We construct the wave function of the heptaquark from the Pauli exclusion principle in the…
Pentaquarks and dibaryons are natural possibilities if diquarks are used as the building blocks to assemble hadrons. In this short note, motivated by the very recent discovery of two pentaquark states, we highlight some possible channels to…
We study the recently discovered Theta^+ baryon in the context of the perturbative chiral quark model. The basic configuration of the Theta^+ is set up as a pentaquark bound state, where the single particle wave functions are the ground…
Baryons can be described within several theoretical frameworks. Among them, the constituent approach is widely used. In this context, we aim to evaluate the accuracy of a particular model of baryons: the quark-diquark approximation. It…
At this point it is still unclear whether pentaquarks exist. While they have be seen in some experiments there are many experiments in which they are not found. On the assumption that pentaquarks exist, several authors have studied the…
We explore the consequences of heavy flavour, heavy quark spin and heavy antiquark-diquark symmetries for hadronic molecules within an effective field theory framework.. Owing to heavy antiquark-diquark symmetry, the doubly heavy baryons…
We calculate the widths of the various pentaquarks in a relativistic model in which the pentaquark is considered to be composed of a scalar diquark and a spin 1/2 triquark. We consider both positive and negative parity for the pentaquark.…
We study the stability of the different quark substructures in a quark cluster approach to pentaquark states considering the color-magnetic spin-spin interactions between quarks. The most likely configuration is found to be a…
In this work, we study masses and decays of triply-heavy pentaquarks $QQQn\bar{n}(Q=b,c)$ in the unified MIT bag model. We construct the color-spin wave functions of the triply-heavy pentaquarks we address and use numerical variational…
The purported observation of a state $\Theta^+$ with strangeness S = +1 led to its quark model interpretation in terms of a pentaquark combination involving a triquark-diquark structure -- the Karliner-Lipkin model. In this work, the proper…
Roles of instanton induced interactions (III) in the masses of pentaquark baryons, Theta^+ (J=1/2 and 3/2) and Xi^{--}, and a dibaryon, H, are discussed using the MIT bag model. It is shown that the two-body terms in III give a strong…
We discuss the properties of the pentaquark in a collective stringlike model with a nonplanar configuration of the four quarks and the antiquark. In an application to the mass spectrum of exotic Theta baryons, we find that the ground state…
In this work we investigate the consequences of the Jaffe and Wilczek diquark model in the framework of QCD sum rules. An analysis of the Theta^+(1540) as (ud)^2\bar{s} state shows that the mass of the pentaquark is compatible with the…
In this work, we study the octaquark, which is composed of two baryons and one meson using a simple chromomagnetic model. First, we construct the wave function of the octaquark satisfying the Pauli exclusion principle in the flavor SU(3)…
Recently several experiments have reported evidences for pentaquark $\Theta^+$. H1 experiment at HERA-B has also reported evidence for $\Theta_c$. $\Theta^+$ is interpreted as a bound state of an $\bar s$ with other four light quarks $udud$…
Assuming that the recently observed $\Theta^+$ and $\Xi^{--}$ are members of an anti-decuplet of SU(3), decays to ground state baryons and mesons are calculated using an effective Lagrangian which incorporates chiral and SU(3) symmetry. We…
We investigate medium modifications of the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ in dense medium, taking into account different parities of the exotic $\Theta^+$ baryon. We find that the chemical potential of the $\Theta^+$ is shifted in a…
The diquark-diquark-antiquark model describes pentaquark states both in terms of quarks and hadrons. The latest LHCb data for pentaquarks with open charm emphasize the importance of hadron components in the structure of pentaquarks. We…
