Non-interacting KN contribution in the QCD sum rule for the pentaquark Theta^+(1540)
arXiv:hep-ph/0505040
Abstract
We perform a QCD sum rule analysis for the pentaquark baryon Theta^+ with the non-interacting contribution treated carefully. The coupling of the Theta^+ current to the state is evaluated by applying the soft kaon theorem and vacuum saturation. When using a five-quark current including scalar and pseudo-scalar diquarks, the KN contribution turns out not to be very important and the previous result of the negative parity Theta^+ is reproduced again. The Borel analysis of the correlation function for Theta^+ with the KN continuum states subtracted yields the mass of the J^P= 1/2^- Theta^+ around 1.5 GeV.
