Pentaquarks with a hidden flavour and the hypothesis of the intrinsic charm of the proton

Abstract

Using the experimental data on pentaquarks with a hidden charm, new upper limits on the intrinsic charm in the proton are obtained, possible shapes of heavy quark distributions inside the proton are discussed.
