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 interpret the newly discovered pentaquark $P_c(4450)$ as a bound state of charmonium $\psi(2S)$ and the nucleon. The binding potential is due to charmonium-nucleon interaction that in the heavy quark approximation is proportional to the…
In this work, we study the properties of the pseudoscalar hidden-charm tetraquark states by analyzing their two-body strong decays via the QCD sum rules based on rigorous quark-hadron duality. We take into account the vacuum condensates up…
We investigate the strong decays of the recently observed hidden-charm pentaquarks \(P_{\psi}^N(4312)\), \(P_{\psi}^N(4440)\), and \(P_{\psi}^N(4457)\), as well as \(P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4338)\) and \(P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4459)\), within the…
The PHENIX experiment at RHIC should be sensitive to decays of the the anti--pentaquark $\bar{\Theta}^-$ via the K$^-$ $\bar{n}$ channel. Charged kaons can be identified using the standard tracking and time of flight up to a momentum of 1.5…
In this work we investigate the decay and production properties of the strange double-charm pentaquark $P_{ccs}^{++}$ with strangeness $S=-1$. Building upon our previous work predicting its $J^P=1/2^-$ molecular configuration, we employ…
It is shown in the work of one of the authors in 1979 (MKV) that the contribution to the amplitude of this decay from diagrams with one baryon loop is equal to zero and contributions from diagrams with meson loops appear very small.…
We study baryo-charmonium [$\eta_{\rm c}$- and $J/\psi$-$N^*$, $\eta_{\rm c}(2S)$-, $\psi(2S)$- and $\chi_{\rm c}(1P)$-$N$] and baryo-bottomonium [$\eta_{\rm b}(2S)$-, $\Upsilon(2S)$- and $\chi_{\rm b}(1P)$-$N$] bound states, where $N$ is…
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)…
We thoroughly compare the bound state and rigid rotator approaches to three--flavored chiral solitons. We establish that these two approaches yield identical results for the baryon spectrum and kaon--nucleon $S$--matrix in the limit that…
The phase diagram of dense quark matter with chiral imbalance is considered with the conditions of electric neutrality and $\beta$-equilibrium. It has been shown recently that chiral imbalance can generate charged pion condensation in dense…
In this article, we illustrate how to calculate the hadronic coupling constants of the pentaquark states with the QCD sum rules based on rigorous quark-hadron quality, then study the hadronic coupling constants of the lowest…
It is shown that standard constituent quark models produce $(\bar c c qqq)$ hidden-charm pentaquarks, where $c$ denotes the charmed quark and $q$ a light quark, which lie below the lowest threshold for spontaneous dissociation and thus are…
In the large $N_c$ limit, one can describe normal heavy baryons $Qqq$ and heavy pentaquarks $\bar Qqqqq$ as bound states of heavy mesons to chiral (anti)solitons. In this picture, the strong and electromagnetic decay parameters of these…
The contradiction between evidence for and against the existence of the Theta+ pentaquark might be resolved if it only appears as a result of a particular production mechanism which is present in some experiments and absent in others. We…
The mass of the newly discovered pentaquark is calculated within the framework of the SU(3) Skyrme Model. Various estimates based on the \emph{model independent} approach are compared with the model results and with the Chiral Quark Model.…
In this work, we systematically calculate the spectrum of hidden-charm pentaquark states $qqqc\bar{c}$ $(q = u,d)$ in the chiral SU(3) quark model, which has been quite successful in reproducing consistently the energies of octet and…
Assuming the two diquark structure for the pentaquark state as advocated in the Jaffe-Wilczek model, there exist exotic parity-even anti-sextet and parity-odd triplet heavy pentaquark baryons. The theoretical estimate of charmed and bottom…
In this paper, we analyze the top-quark decay $t\to Wb$ up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^{3}$LO) QCD corrections. For the purpose, we first adopt the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) to deal with the initial pQCD…
The spectra of pentaquarks, some of them being observed recently, are discussed within topological soliton model and compared with simplified quark picture. Results obtained within chiral soliton model depend to some extent on the…
