Justifying the exotic Theta+ pentaquark
arXiv:0901.1373 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.05.052
Abstract
The existence of a light S=+1 baryon resonance follows from Quantum Field Theory applied to baryons. This is illustrated in the Skyrme model (where Theta+ exists but is too strong) and in a new mean field approach where Theta+ arises as a consequence of three known resonances: Lambda(1405), N(1440) and N(1535).
