相关论文: Experimental Review on Pentaquarks
In this paper I present the most recent results of the ongoing searches, mainly from Tevatron Collider experiments, for new physics beyond the Standard Model. While no signal has been seen so far, many analyses are reaching the point in…
After a quick look at the present status of experiments we shortly review in a first step the ongoing discussions on some of the basic theoretical approaches to pentaquarks: Chiral solitons, Large-$N_c$ considerations, quark models, and…
A search for scalar and vector leptoquarks coupling to first generation fermions is performed in the H1 experiment at the ep collider HERA. The analysis uses e^- p data collected in 1998 and 1999 at a centre-of-mass energy of 320 GeV,…
The spectra of pentaquarks, some of them being observed recently, are discussed within topological soliton model and compared with simplified quark picture. Results obtained within chiral soliton model depend to some extent on the…

The concept of the "statistical significance" of an observation, and how it is used in particle physics experiments is reviewed. More properly known as a "p-value," the statistical foundations for this concept are reviewed from a freqentist…
The discoveries of the hidden-charm $P_c$ pentaquarks by the LHCb Collaboration have been not confirmed by other experiments yet. It is desirable to investigate the feasibility of observing them in other experiments. We present an…
In a recent publication (D. Bolmatov et al. Sci.Rep. 5, 15850 (2015)) the experimental observation of structural transformations on crossing the Frenkel line in supercritical argon is claimed. Here we show that no experimental evidence of…
The reaction pp->p K0 pi+ Lambda has been studied with the ANKE spectrometer at COSY-Juelich at a beam momentum of 3.65 GeV/c in order to search for a possible signal of the pentaquark Theta+(1540), decaying into the p K0 system. By…
Motivated by the discovery of the fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs by the LHCb collaboration, this study explores the potential existence of fully heavy pentaquark states. We…
Motivated by the discovery of several kaon-like states observed at BESIII and LHCb, this study explores S-wave and P-wave tetraquark states with quark contents $ss\bar{s}\bar{q}$ and $sq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ using potential-based phenomenology.…
Pentaquark baryons are a natural expectation of an extended picture of hadrons where quarks and diquarks are the fundamental units. The parity/mass pattern observed, when compared to that of exotic mesons, appears as the footprint of a…
Recent experimental evidence for the Theta^+(1540) has given rise to much theoretical interest in exotic baryons. The Theta^+ is a baryon that has strangeness S=+1, meaning that it contains an anti-strange quark. Thus it cannot be…
Current state of the experimental physics of the surface discharge has been examined in the literature review. The existing works were classified by the mediums, where the surface discharge is explored, by the types of experimental setups…
The possible discovery of the Theta+ pentaquark has motivated a number of studies of its nature using lattice QCD. While all the analyses thus far have focussed on spin-1/2 states, here we report the results of the first exploratory study…
Importance of studies of $b$ quark decays and experimental status of various measurements are discussed.
Recent reports about the Theta+ (formerly known as Z+), a pentaquark state, have awakened considerable interest. We report our findings in search of a Theta++ state over a wide range in mass in the reaction gp-->Theta++K- from our analysis…
The importance of diquarks has been noticed in the context of several elementary particle processes. In recent years the study of diquarks has become of considerable interest in highlighting its role in high density physics from the point…
We review the field of top-quark physics with an emphasis on experimental techniques. The role of the top quark in the Standard Model of particle physics is summarized and the basic phenomenology of top-quark production and decay is…
We investigate whether the lightest scalar mesons sigma and kappa have a large tetraquark component, as is strongly supported by many phenomenological studies. A search for possible light tetraquark states with J^PC=0^++ and I=0, 2, 1/2,…
