A systematic lowering in mass of strangeness ambiguous $pK^0_S$ peaks relative to the $nK^+$ is noted. We discuss how measurement of $\gamma p\to \Theta^+ K^0_S\to p K^0_S K^0_S \to p\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ in association with $\gamma p\to…
Assuming that the recently observed $\Theta^+$ and $\Xi^{--}$ are members of an anti-decuplet of SU(3), decays to ground state baryons and mesons are calculated using an effective Lagrangian which incorporates chiral and SU(3) symmetry. We…
If the exotic baryon $\Theta^+(1540)$ is a correlated $udud\bar{s}$ with $J^P = {1/2}^+$, then there should exist an exotic meson, $J^P = 1^-$ $\vartheta^+ (S=+2)$ $\to K^+K^0$ $\sim 1.6$GeV with width $O(10-100)$MeV. The $\pi_1(1400;1600)$…
Since all couplings of the exotic $\Theta^+$ baryon to normal hadrons seem to be small it is hard to reveal it in standard resonance searching. We suggest to look for the $\Theta^+$ production in interference with a known resonance yielding…
In the search for the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryon, the world data on $K^+n\to K^+n$ and $K^+n\to K^0\,p$ reactions on the deuteron target and $K^0\,p\to K^+n$ and $K^0_L\,p\to K^0_S\,p$ reactions on the hydrogen target are revisited to…
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…
Prompted by the recent surprising results in QCD spectroscopy, we extend to heavy flavors the hadron mass relations showing that the constituent quark mass differences and ratios have the same values when obtained from mesons and baryons.…
Further consequences of the 1540 MeV Theta+ resonance as an isotensor pentaquark beyond Capstick et al. are explored. It is argued that the SAPHIR data may not currently exclude the existence of the charged partner Theta++. The usual…
It has been recognized recently that there is a remarkable empirical relation between lepton and quark mixing angles, theta_{12} + theta_C \approx pi/4. If not accidental, it should testify for yet uncovered new relationship between the…
The cross section for $\Theta^+$ production from the reaction $\gamma p\to\pi^+K^-\Theta^+$, which was observed in the CLAS experiment at the Jefferson National Laboratory, is evaluated in a hadronic model that includes couplings of…
We discuss the possibility of determining the parity of the $\Theta^+$ baryon from photoproduction $\gamma N\to K\Theta^+$ process near threshold. We utilize the conservation laws of parity and angular momentum for the analysis of angular…
The photoproduction processes of the exotic $\Theta^+(1540)$ baryon and the $\bar{K}^*$ meson from the nucleon targets, i.e., $\gamma n \to K^{*-} \Theta^+$ and $\gamma p \to \bar{K}^{*0} \Theta^+$, are investigated in a hadronic model. We…
We investigate the mass spectrum of the pentaquark baryon ($ udud \bar s $) in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. Using 3 different interpolating operators, we measure their $ 3 \times 3 $ correlation matrix and obtain the…
We investigate two exclusive reactions with a Theta+ pentaquark in the final state: electroproduction of a K meson on the nucleon, and K+ scattering on a neutron target producing a lepton pair. These reactions offer unique opportunities to…
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…
The $\eta \pi^{-}$ system has been studied in the reaction $\pi^{-} p \to \eta \pi^{-} p$ at 18 GeV/c. A large asymmetry in the angular distribution is observed indicating interference between L-even and L-odd partial waves. The…
The mass formulae for the baryon octet and decuplet are calculated. These formulae are function of constituent quark masses and spin spin interaction terms for the quarks inside the baryons. The coefficients in the mass formulae is…
We propose a model for the recently discovered Theta^+ exotic KN resonance as a novel kind of a pentaquark with an unusual color structure: a color triplet (ud) diquark, coupled to a color anti-triplet (ud s-bar) triquark in a relative…
Recent strong experimental evidence of a narrow exotic S = +1 baryon resonance, $\Theta^+$, suggests the existence of other exotic baryons. We discuss the prospects of confirming earlier experimental evidence of $\Theta^+$ and the…
Extending the hadronic Lagrangians that we recently introduced for studying pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryon production from meson-proton, proton-proton, and photon-proton reactions near threshold to include the anomalous interaction between…
