We perform a five-body calculation for pentaquark $(q^4\bar{q})$ state of $\Lambda(1405)$ as well as the three-body calculations for the ground state baryons and the $\Lambda(1405)$, and two-body calculations for mesons. The hamiltonian,…
Motivated by the recent observations of exotic open-charm tetraquark candidates \(T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++}\) and \(T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{0}\), we systematically calculate the mass spectra of \([cq][\bar{s}\bar{q}]\) tetraquarks within a…
$\Theta^+$ is a putative light pentaquark state of positive parity with minimal quark content $(uudd\bar{s})$. It naturally emerges in chiral models for baryons, but experimental evidence is uncertain. We review the theoretical foundations…
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…
A chiral effective theory of quarks and diquarks is formulated and applied to exotic tetraquarks and pentaquarks. The effective theory is similar to the chiral quark effective theory with the addition of diquark degrees of freedom and…
In this article, we use two different methods for studying the mass spectra of fully-heavy baryons and pentaquarks. In the first section, we use state-of-the-art machine learning methods, such as deep neural networks and the Particle…
The results of searches for the strange pentaquark states, Theta(1540)+, Xi(1860)-- and Xi(1860)0 in data recorded by the BABAR experiment are presented. We search for these three states inclusively in 123.4 fb^-1 of e+ e- annihilation data…
We study tetraquark resonances using lattice QCD potentials for a pair of static antiquarks $\bar{b}\bar{b}$ in the presence of two light quarks $ud$. The system is treated in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and we use the emergent wave…
At this point it is still unclear whether pentaquarks exist. While they have be seen in some experiments there are many experiments in which they are not found. On the assumption that pentaquarks exist, several authors have studied the…
In this article, we study the pentaquark state $ \Theta^+(1540)$ with a (scalar)diquark-(pseudoscalar)diquark-antiquark type interpolating current in the framework of the QCD sum rules approach by including the contributions from the direct…
We perform a QCD sum rule analysis for the pentaquark baryon Theta^+ with the non-interacting $KN$ contribution treated carefully. The coupling of the Theta^+ current to the $KN$ state is evaluated by applying the soft kaon theorem and…
Starting from a path integral representation of appropriate 4-point and 2-point gauge invariant Green functions and from the "Modified Area Law" model for the evaluation of the Wilson loop, a q \bar q Bethe-Salpeter like equation and a…
The positive--strangeness baryon resonance $\Theta^+$ is observed in photoproduction of the $\rm nK^+K^0_s$ final state with the SAPHIR detector at the Bonn ELectron Stretcher Accelerator ELSA. It is seen as a peak in the $\rm nK^+$…
We introduce an enhanced binding energy $B_{QQ}$ between heavy-heavy quarks $QQ$ and a flux-tube correction into the chromomagnetic interaction model to study nonstrange doubly-heavy tetraquarks $T_{QQ}$ ($Q=c,b)$. A simple relation in…
The charged axial-vector $J^{P}=1^{+}$ tetraquarks $Z_{q}=[cq][\bar {b} \bar q ]$ and $Z_{s}=[cs][\bar {b} \bar s]$ with the open charm-bottom contents are studied in the diquark-antidiquark model. The masses and meson-current couplings of…
Radial excitations of the quark-antiquark string sweeping the Wilson-loop area are considered in the framework of the effective-action formalism. Identifying these excitations with the daughter Regge trajectories, we find corrections which…
Mass spectra of baryons consisting of two heavy (b or c) and one light quarks are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The light quark-heavy diquark structure of the baryon is assumed. Under this assumption the…
A composite Fermion (CF) model of quasi particle has been used to describe a diquark. Considering baryons in quark-diquark configuration,the masses of the heavy light baryons like $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$, $\Sigma_{c}^{+}$, $\Xi_{c}^{0}$,…
We study the stability of the different quark substructures in a quark cluster approach to pentaquark states considering the color-magnetic spin-spin interactions between quarks. The most likely configuration is found to be a…
A menage a trois is very different from an ordinary family. Similarly, exotic hadrons with both qq and qbar q pairs have important color-space correlations that are completely absent in ordinary mesons and baryons. The presence of both…
