Chiral-scale perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_\sigma$ has been proposed as an alternative to chiral $SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$ perturbation theory which explains the $\Delta I = 1/2$ rule for kaon decays. It is based on a low-energy expansion…
Motivated by diquark exchange, we construct a class of extensions of the standard model. These models can generate large CP conserving and CP violating contributions to the doubly Cabbibo suppressed decays D^0\to K^+\pi^- without affecting…
We present results for the mass spectrum and decay constants using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. Three values of $\beta$ and 30 different quark masses are used to obtain the chiral and continuum limits. Special emphasis…
We study the group structure of baryon anti-decuplet containing the $\Theta^+$. We derive the SU(3) mass relations among the pentaquark baryons in the anti-decuplet, when there is either no mixing or ideal mixing with the pentaquark octet,…
We study the narrow decay width of low-lying penta-quark baryons in the QCD string theoryin terms of gluonic excitations. In the QCD string theory, the penta-quark baryon decays via a gluonic-excited state of a baryon and meson system,…
This paper presents the results of inclusive searches for the strange pentaquark states $\Theta^+(1540)$, $\Xi_5^{--}(1860)$ and $\Xi_5(1860)^{0}$ as well as the anti-charm pentaquark state $\Theta_c(3099)^{0}$ in a dataset of 123.4…
We present two possibilities to determine the P-parity of the pentaquark $\Theta^+$, in a model independent way, via the measurement of polarization observables in $p+p\to \Theta^+ +\Sigma^+$, or $n+p\to \Theta^+ +\Lambda^0$, in the near…
The QCD sum rule method is formulated for the strangeness +1 pentaquark baryon with isospin I=0 and spin-parity J^P = 3/2^\pm. The spin-3/2 states are considered to be narrower than the spin-1/2 ones, and thus may provide a natural…
The polarization properties of the charmed Lambda^+_c baryon are investigated in weak non-leptonic four-body Lambda^+_c -> p + K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 decay. The probability of this decay and the angular distribution of the probability are…
Following Rosner [hep-ph/0312269], we consider B-decay production channels for the exotic I=0 and $I=3/2$ pentaquarks that have been recently reported. We also discuss new search channels for isovector pentaquarks, such as the $\Theta^{*++}…
Inspired by the updated information on $\Omega(2012)$ by the Belle Collaboration, we conduct a study of all possible $S$-wave pentaquark systems with quark contents $sssq\bar{q},q=u,d$ in a chiral quark model with the help of Gaussian…
The discrepancies found between S-wave and P-wave fits for hyperon decays are reinvestigated using the heavy baryon chiral Lagrangian formalism. The agreement is found to improve through the inclusion of previously omitted diagrams. The…
If Jaffe and Wilczek's diquark picture for $\Theta_5$ pentaquark is correct, there should also exist a $SU_F$(3) pentaquark octet and singlet with no orbital excitation between the diquark pair, hence $J^P={1/2}^-$. These states are lighter…
In plasmas composed of massless electrically charged fermions, chirality can be interchanged with magnetic helicity while preserving the total chirality through the quantum chiral anomaly. The decay of turbulent energy in plasmas such as…
The density dependent relativistic hadron field theory(DDRH) is extended to inclusions of pentaquark $\Theta^+$. We investigate In-medium properties of $\Theta^+$ and nucleons. As well as the neutron and proton,the effective $\Theta^+$ mass…
We calculate the width of the Theta(1540) pentaquark 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.…
Following a recent suggestion that the $\Theta ^+$ could be a $K \pi N$ bound state we perform an investigation under the light of the meson meson and meson baryon dynamics provided by the chiral Lagrangians and using methods currently…
The nature of the $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ pentaquarks is a fascinating theoretical question. Within the molecular picture their more usual interpretation is that of $I=\tfrac{1}{2}$ $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and $\bar{D}^*…
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…
We study the interaction of the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark with nuclear matter associated to the $KN$ decay channels and to the two meson cloud. We find that the potential is attractive and could be strong enough to lead to the existence of…
