Pentaquark spectrum in string dynamics

arXiv:hep-ph/0310118 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2003.11.010

Abstract

The masses of $uudd\bar s $ and $uudd\bar d$ pentaquarks are evaluated in a framework of the Effective Hamiltonian approach to QCD using the Jaffe-Wilczek $[ud]^2\bar q$ approximation. The mass of the $[ud]^2\bar s$ state is found to be $\sim 300-500$ MeV higher than the observed $Θ^+(1540)$ mass.
