Topic: Exotic baryons


  
  Exotic baryon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ordinary baryons are bound states of 3 quarks.
Exotic baryons are bound states of 3 quarks and additional particles.
The pentaquark, which consists of four quarks and an anti-quark, is the only exotic baryon that has (allegedly) been detected.

 Exotic baryon - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In particle physics, an exotic baryon is a baryon (a strongly interacting fermion) composed of more than three quarks.
Currently, only one type of exotic baryon, the pentaquark, is known.
The possible existence of exotic baryons has been contemplated by physicists since the early 1970s, as it is an immediate consequence of quantum chromodynamics (the quantum field theory which describes hadrons), but the experimental discovery of the first exotic baryon did not occur until 2003.

 Exotic meson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exotic mesons, which have quantum numbers not possible for mesons in the quark model
All of these can be classed as mesons, because they are hadrons and carry zero baryon number.
Lattice QCD predictions for glueballs are now fairly stable, at least when virtual quarks are neglected.

 Multiquarks: Phenomenology
Roles of instanton induced interactions (III) in the masses of pentaquark baryons, Theta^+ (J=1/2 and 3/2) and Xi^{--}, and a dibaryon, H, are discussed using the MIT bag model in the negative parity case.
We analyze the magnetic moment of the exotic pentaquarks of the flavor antidecuplet in the constituent quark model for the case in which the ground state is in an orbital L(p)=0(+) or a L(p)=1(-) state.
We calculate the suppression in the rate at which two baryons in a nucleus (viz., nucleons or $\Lambda$'s) convert to an H dibaryon, using an Isgur-Karl wavefunction for quarks in the baryons and H, and a Bethe-Goldstone wavefunction for the baryons in the nucleus.

A comparison of the S = +1 theta baryons is made to the spectrum of the narrow width dibaryons.
From this comparison, the rotational spectra of the exotic theta baryons are proposed.
We analyze the importance of the 70 MeV quantum proposed by Mac Gregor and its relationship in the location of exotic baryons belonging to the antidecuplet.

 Physics Today - Search and Discovery September 2003
It's been a long-standing puzzle that the quantum numbers of all the known mesons and baryons could be attributed to bound states of two or three quarks.
Before this year, every one of the hundreds of well-established baryons and mesons (collectively called hadrons) could be described either as a bound triplet of quarks (the baryons) or a bound quark-antiquark pair (the mesons).
It was soon recognized that the three-flavor skyrmion model predicted the existence of an "antidecuplet" of presumably undiscovered baryon species that all have the same spin (1/2) and intrinsic parity (+) as the nucleon (see figure 1).

 CERN Courier - The challenge of the pentaqu - IOP Publishing - article
Volker Burkert reports on Pentaquark 2003, the first topical workshop on exotic baryons, which was held at Jefferson Lab in November.
Although the exotic nature of the signal is not uniquely identified in this reaction, the absence of known Σ states that could mimic a pentaquark in this mass range is used to identify the state indirectly as the Θ
In the chiral soliton model, it is a collective excitation of the mean chiral field that binds the baryons, and not a sum of the constituent quarks.

 The Interaction Point, May 6, 2005
Exotic baryons refer to pentaquarks, whose quantum numbers cannot be reduced down to those of regular baryons.
A meson (shown top) is composed of a quark and an antiquark, a regular baryon (center) consists of three quarks, and a pentaquark (bottom) is proposed to have four quarks and an antiquark.
has both—very large samples (high statistics) of expected mesons and baryons and excellent mass resolution—with the ability to resolve signals from particles with small mass width.

Studies of unusual states of matter, exotic particles, provide unique insights into the fundamental properties of hadrons.
Exotic mesons suggest that gluons, as well as quarks, manifest themselves in the structure of elementary particles.
At Jefferson Laboratory we are focusing on the structure of baryons, and the search for exotic five-quark baryons called pentaquarks, and baryons.

Extraction of the pion-nucleon sigma-term from the spectrum of exotic baryons
The pion-nucleon sigma-term is extracted on the basis of the soliton picture of the nucleon from the mass spectrum of usual and the recently observed exotic baryons, assuming that they have positive parity.
The study can also be considered as a phenomenological consistency check of the soliton picture of baryons.

 Science News: Twice-charmed particles spotted? - Physics - Brief Article
Although protons and neutrons are made of only so-called down and up quarks, researchers at high-energy particle colliders have for years been detecting exotic baryons containing beefier quarks called strange and charm quarks (SN: 8/25/01, p.
The scientists have often created baryons containing two and even three strange quarks, but no one had ever detected a baryon containing more than one charm quark, at least no one thought so.
Fermilab's Harry W.K. Cheung notes that a high-energy photon experiment called FOCUS didn't yield doubly charmed baryons among an abundance of singly charmed ones, a result that throws some doubt on the reanalysis of the SELEX data.

 Observation of Exotic Baryon
Until recently, no firm evidence of pentaquarks existed even though physicists have searched for these objects (also known as "exotic baryons") for over 30 years.
This means we have a new classification of particle: the pentaquark (more precisely, an "exotic" baryon).
At the least, we have found a new classification of quark matter, a particle (specifically, an exotic baryon) with "five" quarks.
