Assuming the two diquark structure for the pentaquark state as advocated in the Jaffe-Wilczek model, we study the strong decays of light and heavy parity-even pentaquark states using the light-front quark model in conjunction with the…
Masses of open- and hidden-charm tetra-quark scalar mesons are studied in a new approach. As the result, newly estimated masses of hidden-charm sector are significantly lower than our earier ones by a naive quark counting. In particular,…
Several issues related to pentaquark searches relevant for current and future high-energy colliding experiments are discussed. We make an attempt to explain why pentaquark candidates are not seen by some experiments, and what makes the HERA…
We consider a $[ud]^2\bar{s}$ current in the QCD sum rule framework to study the mass of the recently observed pentaquark state $\Theta^+(1540)$, obtaining good agreement with the experimental value. We also study the mass of the pentaquark…
In a diquark-diquark-antiquark picture of the pentaquark we study the decay $\Theta \to K^{+} n$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. After evaluation of the relevant three-point function, we extract the coupling $g_{\Theta nK}$ which is…
We presents a systematic analysis of the fall-apart decays for the $1S$, $1P$, and $2S$-wave fully-strange tetraquark states. It shows that most of the fully-strange tetraquark states have a relatively narrow fall-apart decay width of…
A search for narrow resonances with a mass of at least 1 TeV in the dijet mass spectrum is performed using pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 inverse femtobarn, collected by the CMS experiment at…
ATLAS and CMS recently released the first results of searches for diphoton resonances in 13 TeV data, revealing a modest excess at an invariant mass of approximately 750 GeV. We find that it is generically possible that a singlet scalar…
We search for the charmed pentaquark candidate reported by the H1 collaboration, the Theta_c(3100)^0, in e^+e^- interactions at a center-of-mass (c.m.) energy of 10.58 GeV, using 124~fb-1 of data recorded with the BaBar detector at the…
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…
Elastic $K^+ n\to K^+ n$ and charge exchange $K^+n\to K^0p$ reactions at low momenta are investigated using the partial wave analysis. Isospin relation gives constrains for the partial $s$- and $p$-waves among elastic $K^+p$, $K^+n$ and…
A search for Theta^+(1540) and Xi^{--}_{3/2}(1862) pentaquark candidates has been performed in proton-induced reactions on C, Ti and W targets at sqrt(s) = 41.6 GeV studying the pK_s resp. Xi^-pi^- and Xi^-pi^+ (and charge conjugated) decay…
An amplitude analysis of $B^-\to J/\psi\Lambda\bar{p}$ decays is performed using about 4400 signal candidates selected on a data sample of $pp$ collisions recorded at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV with the LHCb detector,…
Possibility of an axial vector isoscalar tetraquark with $ud\bar{s}\bar{s}$ is discussed. If the pentaquark $\Theta^+(1540)$ has the $(qq)_{\bar{3}}(qq)_{\bar{3}}\bar{q}$ configuration, the isoscalar $ud\bar{s}\bar{s}$($\vartheta^+$-meson)…
Several experimental groups have reported evidence for baryons with flavor exotic quantum numbers that cannot be explained as $qqq$ bound states but require a minimum of five quarks -- $qqqq \bar q$. These pentaquark states include the…
In the Relativistic Mean Field Approximation three quarks in baryons from the lowest octet and the decuplet are bound by the self-consistent chiral field, and there are additional quark-antiquark pairs whose wave function also follows from…
Using the QCD string theory, we investigate the physical reason of the narrow width of penta-quark baryons in terms of the large gluonic-excitation energy. In the QCD string theory, the penta-quark baryon decays via a gluonic-excited state…
The possibility of observing formation of hidden-charm pentaquarks as $s$-channel resonances in antiproton - deuteron collisions is discussed. It is pointed out that the masses of the reported by LHCb pentaquark resonances in the $J/\psi \,…
We evaluate the static $qqqq\bar{q}$ potential in the quenched theory at $\beta=5.8$ and $\beta=6.0$ on a lattice of size $16^3\times 32$. The mass and density-density correlator for the $\Theta^+$ is investigated in the quenched theory at…
We estimate the mass and the width of pentaquark $\Theta^*$ states in the 27-plet from chiral soliton models. The calculations show that the mass of $\Theta^*$ is about 1.60 GeV and the width for the process $\Theta^*\to {KN}$ is less than…
