The decuplet baryons, $\Delta$, $\Sigma^{*}$, $\Xi^{*}$ and $\Omega^{-}$, are studied in nuclear matter by using the in-medium QCD sum rules. By fixing the three momentum of the particles under consideration at the rest frame of the medium,…

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…
