Narrow Nucleon- Bound State and LHCb Pentaquarks

arXiv:1512.00426 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.93.054039

Abstract

We interpret the newly discovered pentaquark as a bound state of charmonium and the nucleon. The binding potential is due to charmonium-nucleon interaction that in the heavy quark approximation is proportional to the product of the charmonium chromoelectric polarizability and the nucleon energy-momentum distribution. We use the large expansion to estimate the quarkonium polarizability and calculate the nucleon properties in the framework of the mean-field picture of light baryons. Two almost degenerate states and are predicted at the position of the pentaquark. We find that the nucleon- bound state has a naturally narrow width in the range of tens of MeV. The unitary multiplet partners of the pentaquark and the generalization to -nucleon pentaquark bound states are discussed.
