Exotic mesons with quantum numbers of a hybrid ($\bar{q} q g$) such as $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}$are shown to exist as narrow resonant states in the large $N_c$ limit of QCD. The width of these states is proportional to $1/N_c$. Possible…
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…
Recent experimental data appear to confirm the existence of the exotic Theta+ (uudd\bar{s}) baryon. Simple statistical considerations, which have generally proven rather successful, suggest that this particle should be produced in…
We calculate the cross sections for the inclusive production in the fragmentation region of $\Theta^+(1540)$ and $\Lambda(1520)$ in $pp$ collisions and $\Lambda(1520)$ in $\Sigma p$ collisions at high energy using the $K$- and $\pi$-meson…
We study the interaction of vector mesons with the octet of stable baryons in the framework of the local hidden gauge formalism using a coupled channels unitary approach, including also the pseudoscalar-baryon channels which couple to the…
The 2m propane bubble chamber experimental data have been analyzed to search for an exotic baryon state, the $\Theta^+$ -baryon, in the $pK^0_s$ decay mode for the reaction p+$C_3H_8$ at 10 GeV/c. The $pK^0_s$ invariant mass spectrum shows…
A search for a manifestly exotic S=-2 baryon state decaying to Xi- pi-, and its neutral partner decaying to Xi- pi+, has been performed using 220 pb^(-1) of pp= collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab.…
Recently observed exotic baryon resonance with positive strangeness is discussed. The chiral soliton model, which allowed to predict the mass and width of this state, predicts also a number of other exotic states, strange and non-strange,…
Triggered by a recent announcement by the LHCb Collaboration of five excited $\Omega^0_c$ resonances of small widths we propose an interpretation based on the Chiral Quark Soliton Model. We argue that three of the LHCb resonances are parity…
Recent data from Belle show unusually large partial widths Upsilon(5S) --> Upsilon(1S) pi^+pi^- and \Upsilon(5S) --> \Upsilon(2S) pi^+ pi^-. The Z(4430) narrow resonance also reported by Belle in psi' pi^+ spectrum has the properties…
Time correlation functions of a hybrid exotic meson operator, with JPC=1-+, generated in quenched lattice QCD are subjected to a (Bayesian) maximum entropy analysis. Five distinct spectral levels are uncovered. Their extrapolation into the…
We evaluate two-meson couplings of Theta+, using experimental information of nucleon resonances decaying into pi pi N channels, in which the two pions are in scalar- and vector-type correlations. We examine two assignments of spin and…
Starting from a consistent SU(6) extension of the Weinberg-Tomozawa (WT) meson-baryon chiral Lagrangian (Phys. Rev. D74 (2006) 034025), we study the s-wave meson-baryon resonances in the strangeness S=-3 and negative parity sector. Those…
We re-analyze the predictions of chiral-soliton models for the masses and decay widths of baryons in the exotic antidecuplet of flavour SU(3). The calculated ranges of the chiral-soliton moment of inertia and the \pi-nucleon scattering…
Recently there has been revival of interest in exotic baryon spectroscopy triggered by experimental evidence for pentaquarks containing u,d,s and c-quarks. We report results of the searches for pentaquark states in decays to p K0S, Xi-…
The mass and decay width of the $\Theta^+(1540)$ with isospin 0 are investigated in a constituent quark model comprising $uudd\bar{s}$ quarks. The resonance state for the $\Theta^+$ is identified as a stable solution in correlated basis…
We consider hidden charm pentaquarks as hadroquarkonium states in a QCD inspired approach. Pentaquarks arise naturally as bound states of quarkonia excitations and ordinary baryons. The LHCb $P_c(4450)$ pentaquark is interpreted as a…
Our talk is intended for the session in memory of Mitya Diakonov. The problem is considered of existence of flavor multiplets consisting of multi-quark baryons. We have argued that the S-matrix should have poles, at least Regge ones, with…
The masses of $uudd\bar s $, $uudd\bar d$ and $uuss\bar d$ pentaquarks are evaluated in a framework of both the Effective Hamiltonian approach to QCD and spinless Salpeter using the Jaffe--Wilczek diquark approximation and the string…
We report a lattice QCD study of the heavy-light meson-meson interactions with an explicitly exotic flavor content $bc\bar u\bar d$, isospin $I\!=\!0$, and axialvector $J^P=1^+$ quantum numbers in search of possible tetraquark bound states.…
