Particles discovered 1898 - 1964:
Back to Year 1964 • A hundred or so types of particles were identified: – Baryons (fermion): n, p, , …. – Mesons (boson) : , , …. . • Murray Gell-Mann (Mendeleev of elementary particle physics) proposed “the eightfold way” to put these particles in order, suggesting more elementary constituents: quarks. – There are three types of quarks, u, d and s. – Every baryon is composed of three quarks. – Every meson is composed of a quark and an antiquark.

The Color Space • The overall wave function is product of space*flavor*spin. Pauli principle requires an antisymmetric wave function for a fermion system. • The quark configuration of ++(1232) is (uuu) and s=3/2. The wave function is symmetric in flavor, spin and space. • Introduce another degree of freedom (strong interaction charge), COLOR, to quarks and each quark in ++ has different color (uuu), but the system overall has to be colorless or white. • Fundamental theory of describing “the Strong Interaction”: Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD).
QCD and Effective Theories
Properties of QCD • Quark Confinement: no isolated quarks. • Asymptotic Freedom:

Pentaquark Interpretation of + • Five-quark configuration: Strangeness=+1 state belongs to anti decuplet (10) of 5 -quark configuration. • Parity: standard pentaquark involving 5 quarks in an s-wave (ground state) has negative parity while chiral soliton (Skyrme) model predicts the parity of + to be positive. fails because • Resonance: a single-cluster description of (uudds) the color-magnetic repulsion between flavor-symmetric states prevents binding. • Small decay width: Baryon-meson (KN) molecule, color singlets separately, will be unstable against strong decay. + (1540) lies 110 Me. V above KN threshold should have a decay width of the order of 500 Me. V unless its decays are suppressed by phase space, symmetry, or special dynamics
Proposal 1: + as an Isotensor resonance. • I (isospin) = 2. • Negative parity; Jp =1/2 , 3/2 , or 5/2 . • That + decays to n. K+ or p. K 0 is isospin violating and thus the decay width is small. • Other isospin partners predicted. Simon Capstick et al. , hep-ph/0307019
Proposal 2: + as (uudd)-(s) • Flavor-spin dependent hyperfine interaction between the 4 light quarks and strong spin-spin interaction between the light flavor and strange antiquark. • I (isospin) = 0. • Jp =1/2+, 3/2 +. Fl. Stancu and D. O. Riska, hep-ph/0307010
Proposal 3: + as (ud)-(uds) • The two color non-singlet clusters (ud) diquark and (uds) triquark are separated by a distance larger than the range of the color-magnetic force and are kept together by the color electric force. • I (isospin) = 0, in P-wave (l=1). • Jp =1/2+. M. Karliner and H. J. Lipkin, hep-ph/0307243
Proposal 4: + as (ud)-(s) • The four quarks are bound into two spin zero, color and flavor 3 diquarks, which are composite bosons (color Copper pair). • A bound state of an antiquark with two highly correlated spin-zero ud -diquarks. • The narrowness of width is due to the relatively weak coupling of K+n continuum to the [ud]2 s. • I (isospin) = 0. • Jp =1/2+. • Prediction of an even lighter ½+ nucleon and other exotic states. R. Jaffe and F. Wilczk, hep-ph/0307341
Summary and Outlook (1) • The pentaquark surprise triggers new efforts in understanding how the strong interaction binds quarks and gluons into hadrons. • The quantum numbers of + , like spin, parity and isospin, and total decay width, are desirable to be determined experimentally soon. • Look for the other possible five-quark states (predicted by theory). • Identity these exotic states in lattice QCD.
Summary and Outlook (2) • JLAB approved one-month beam time in yr 2004 for the study of +. • About LEPS/SPring-8: – Analyzing data from 150 -cm long LH 2 and LD targets for more statistics. – New physics programs with Time-Projection-Chamber (2003 -2004). • Nuclear medium effect of mesons produced in nuclei. • Property of (1405). – Plan of constructing another beam line for study of pentaquark. – Construct a new TPC to accommodate LH 2 or LD targets.
