Studying scattering of heavy flavor hadrons and looking for bound states is shown to give experimental information otherwise unobtainable about effective two-body interactions between constituent $(qq)_6$ and $(\bar qq)_8$ pairs…
Recently the so-called $\Theta^+$ resonance has been reported first from SPring8\cite{nakano} and many following experiments showed apparent confirmation of the state. Since $\Theta^+$ exclusively decays into either $K^+ n$ or $K^0 p$, it…
I will briefly review the status of higher-order calculations for top-quark observables, comment on the need for improvements, discuss some of the recent theoretical advances, and present a few examples to highlight the role of top-quark…
Evidence for the production of exotic hadron states composed of five quarks (pentaquarks) has been searched for in data collected by the ALEPH, DELPHI, and L3 experiments at LEP. No significant signal is observed. Several 95% C.L. upper…
The molecular picture and the constituent-quark model of exotic hadrons are reviewed, with application to the states recently discovered in the hidden-charm and hidden beauty sectors, and to other configurations.
In this talk, after a short overview of the history of the discovery of tetra-quarks and penta-quarks, we will discuss a possible interpretation of such states in the framework of a 40-years-old "string junction" picture that allows a…
Theoretical predictions for the top quark rare decays are reviewed within and beyond the standard model. Expectations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are discussed.
We search for the strange pentaquark $\Theta^+$ using kaon interactions in the material of the Belle detector. No signal is observed in the $p K_S$ final state, while in the $p K^-$ final state we observe $\sim 1.6 \cdot 10^4$…
A new mechanism of the production of hypothetical $\Theta(ud\bar{s}ud)^+$ pentaquark state is suggested. The considered mechanism is based on the exchange by exotic Regge trajectories in the $t$ channel. It is shown that the momentum…
Non-strange and strange pentaquaks with hidden charm are considered as diquark-diquark-antiquark composite systems. Spin and isospin content of such exotic states is discussed and masses are evaluated.
We discuss the relatively low mass and narrow width prediction for the exotic baryon Theta+, and comment on recent statements by R.L. Jaffe on the subject. We reaffirm that a narrow width of 3.6-11.2 MeV follows from the equations of our…
The problem of the long life time of the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ is investigated on the basis of the color molecular dynamics simulation. We find that it takes a long time (typically of 50-100 fm/c) for the initial pentaquark-state to…
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…
In this talk I report on a computation of the spectra of exotic pentaquarks and radial excitations of the low--lying ${1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}^+$ baryons in a chiral soliton model.
Recent reports about the Theta+ (formerly known as Z+), a pentaquark state, have awakened considerable interest. We report our findings in search of a Theta++ state over a wide range in mass in the reaction gp-->Theta++K- from our analysis…
The standard model of particle physics is an extremely successful theory of fundamental interactions, but it has many known limitations. It is therefore widely believed to be an effective field theory that describes interactions near the…
The recent developments in the search of exotic pentaquark hadrons are briefly reviewed. We then focus on investigating how the exotic pentaquark $\Theta(1540)$ baryon production can be identified in the $\gamma N \to K \bar{K} N$…
A search for narrow Theta(1540)^+, a candidate for pentaquark baryon with positive strangeness, has been performed in an exclusive proton-induced reaction p+C(N) \to Theta^+ \bar{K}^0 + C(N) on carbon nuclei or quasifree nucleons at…
We review the experimental progress on the study of light and heavy hadrons and focus on recent discoveries of the XYZ states, pentaquark states, $T_{cs}$ and $T_{cc}$ states in the heavy hadron sector, and on the $\pi_1(1600)$ and the…
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.…
