The nature of the Lambda(1405) is discussed based on the unitarised coupled-channels approach with chiral dynamics (chiral unitary model). This approach describes the Kbar N scattering cross sections and the Lambda(1405) spectra…
The $\Lambda$ baryon spectrum is studied within the SU(3) flavor symmetry in a constituent quark model. We found that it is rather difficult to accommodate some negative-parity $\Lambda$ resonances as single $q^2s$ ($q = u,\,d$ quarks)…
Low-energy data on the three charge states in $\gamma p \to K^+(\Sigma\pi)$ from CLAS at JLab, on $K^-p\to \pi^0\pi^0\Lambda$ and $\pi^0\pi^0\Sigma$ from the Crystal Ball at BNL, bubble chamber data on…
We have investigated negative-parity uudd\bar{s} pentaquarks by employing a quark model with the meson exchange and the effective gluon exchange as qq and q\bar{q} interactions. The system for the five quarks is dynamically solved; the…
We propose a new QCD sum rule analysis for the Lambda(1405) and the Sigma(1620). Using the I=0 and I=1 multiquark sum rules we predict their masses.
A new analysis is performed in QCD sum rule for the lightest negative parity baryon Lambda (1405). Mixings of three-quark and five-quark Fock components are taken into account. Terms containing up to dimension 12 condensates are computed in…
We explore how well one can probe the s quark chirality of the fundamental weak interaction of nonleptonic B decay using the spin-analyzing property of the Lambda hyperon. We present the prediction of the Standard Model as quantitatively as…
In this talk, multiquarks are studied microscopically in a standard quark model. In pure ground-state pentaquarks the short-range interaction is computed and it is shown to be repulsive. An additional quark-antiquark pair is then…
Low-lying $\Lambda$ baryons with spin 1/2 are analyzed in two-flavor unquenched lattice QCD. We construct $2 \times 2$ cross correlators from flavor SU(3) ``octet'' and ``singlet'' baryon operators, and diagonalize them so that we can…
The strong and electromagnetic properties of the Lambda(1405) hyperon are studied in the framework of the bound state soliton model. We explicitly evaluate the strong coupling constant g(Lambda^*-N-K), the Lambda^* magnetic moment, mean…
Light and heavy pentaquarks are described within a constituent quark model based on a spin-flavor hyperfine interaction. In this model the lowest state acquires positive parity. The masses of the light antidecuplet members are calculated…
In order to describe Lambda(1405) as a resonance in the baryon-meson scattering, we have investigated q^3-q qbar scattering system with the flavor-singlet q^3 (0s)^2(0p) state (the Lambda^1 pole). The scattering is treated by the quark…
We study the possibility that four iso-singlet baryons $\Lambda_s(1405)$ $J^P=1/2^{-}$, $\Lambda_s(1520)$ $J^P=3/2^{-}$, $\Lambda_c(2593)$ $J^P=1/2^{-}$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ $J^P=3/2^{-}$ are hybrids: three quark one gluon states (udsg).…
Among the light baryons, the $J^\pi = \frac{1}{2}^-$ $\Lambda(1405)$ hyperon is an important special case as it sits just below the $N\bar{K}$ threshold and decays almost exclusively to $\Sigma\pi$. Some long-standing hypotheses for…
Recently, the 1/Nc expansion has been applied to the study of exotic baryons containing both quarks and antiquarks. We extend this approach to exotic states with mixed symmetric spin-flavor symmetry, which correspond in the quark model to…
We propose a novel method to identify the two-pole structure of the $\Lambda(1405)$. The two poles owe their origin to different quark flavor irreducible representations in the meson-baryon coupled-channel interactions, thus they should be…
The pentaquarks are exotic baryons formed of four quarks and an antiquarks. Their existence has been discussed in the literature over the last 30 years or more, first in connection with kaon nucleon scattering data. The subject has been…
For almost 50 years the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance has been a mystery. Even though it contains a heavy strange quark and has odd parity, its mass is lower than any other excited spin-1/2 baryon. Dalitz and co-workers speculated…
We use a unitary coupled-channel model to study the $\bar{D} \Lambda_c - \bar{D} \Sigma_c$ interactions. In our calculation, SU(3) flavor symmetry is applied to determine the coupling constants. Several resonant and bound states with…
The negative-parity ground state of the \Lambda{} baryon lies surprisingly low in mass. At 1405.1 MeV, it lies lower than the negative-parity ground state nucleon, even though it has a valence strange quark. Using the PACS-CS (2+1)-flavour…
