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…
The pentaquark $\Theta^+$ has been searched for via the $\pi^-p \to K^-X$ reaction with beam momenta of 1.92 and 2.01 GeV/$c$ at J-PARC. A missing mass resolution of 2 MeV (FWHM) was achieved but no sharp peak structure was observed. The…
The recently discovered pentaquark $\Theta^+$ is described within the chiral constituent quark model. Within this picture the flavor-spin interaction between valence quarks inverts the $(1s)^4$ and $(1s)^3(1p)$ levels of the four-quark…
We analyze the decay modes of the three $[\frac 12\frac 12^-]_{S=0,1}$ and $[\frac 12\frac 32^-]_{S=1}$ non-strange pentaquarks with hidden charm and bottom, predicted by holographic QCD in the heavy quark limit. In leading order, the…
$P_c$ resonances are studied in the approach of quark model and group theory. It is found that there are totally 17 possible pentaquark states with the quark contents $q^3Q \bar Q$ ($q$ are $u$ and $d$ quarks; $Q$ is $c$ quark) in the…
We identify essential differences between the pentaquark and chiral soliton models of \10bar$_5$ and {\bf 8}$_5$ pentaquarks and conventional {\bf 8}$_3$ states, which are experimentally measurable. We show how the decays of $\Xi_5$ states…
In this work, we systematically calculate transition magnetic moments, radiative decay widths, and axial-vector coupling constants of octet hidden-charm molecular pentaquark states with different flavor representations in constituent quark…
We examine several assignments of spin and parity for the pentaquark Theta+ state (J^P=1/2^{+,-}, 3/2^{+,-}) in connection with known baryon resonances. Assuming that the Theta+ belongs to an antidecuplet representation which mixes with an…
The pentaquark is studied in a simple model of confinement where the quarks and the antiquark are linked by flux tubes of minimal cumulated length, and the Coulomb-like interaction, the spin-dependent terms and the antisymmetrization…
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…
It is shown, that if the pentaquark $\Theta^+ = uudd\bar{s}$ baryon can be represented by the local quark current $\eta_{\Theta}$, its decay $\Theta^+ \to n K^+ (p K^0)$ is forbidden in the limit of chirality conservation. The…
In a nonrelativistic potential quark model framework, we carry out a calculation of the mass spectrum for the low-lying $1S$ all-heavy pentaquark state by adopting the explicitly correlated Gaussian method. The obtained states are compact…
We consider the mass splittings and strong decays of members of the lowest-lying pentaquark multiplet, which we take to be a parity-odd antidecuplet. We derive useful decompositions of the quark model wave functions that allow for easy…
We consider the possibility that the lightest pentaquark is a parity even state, with one unit of orbital angular momentum. Working within the framework of a constituent quark model, we show that dominant spin-flavor interactions render…
The strangeness $s=+1$ pentaquark states as $qqqq\bar{q}$ clusters are investigated in this letter. Starting from the inherent geometric symmetry, we analyzed the inherent nodal structure of the system. As the nodeless states, the low-lying…
We study the selfenergy of the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark in nuclei associated with two types of interaction: the KN decay of the $\Theta^+$ and two meson baryon decay channels of the $\Theta^+$. Whereas the potential related to the first source…
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…
As our recent quark model calculation~\cite{Noh:2023fdy} suggests a strong possibility of a compact $T_{cc}$ that closely reproduces experimental mass, we have a strong incentive to extend our work to investigate the possible compact…
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 $udud$…
The reaction $\gamma p \to pK^+K^-$ was studied at Jefferson Lab with photon energies from 1.8 to 3.8 GeV using a tagged photon beam. The goal was to search for a $\Theta^{++}$ pentaquark, a narrow doubly charged baryon state having…
