Pentaquarks in string dynamics

Abstract

The masses of $uudd\bar{s}$, $uudd\bar{d}$, and $uuss\bar{d}$ pentaquarks are evaluated in a framework of both the Effective Hamiltonian approach to QCD and spinless Salpeter using the Jaffe-Wilczek diquark approximation and the string interaction for the diquark-diquark-antiquark system. The masses of the light pentaquarks are found to be in the region above 2 GeV. The similar calculations yield the mass of $[ud{]}^2\bar{c}$ pentaquark $\sim$ 3250 MeV and $[ud{]}^2\bar{b}$ pentaquark $\sim$ 6509 MeV.
