Introduction
All well established baryon states can be
understood as combinations of three valence
quarks: u, d, s.These combinations are grouped
in SU(3) singlets, octets and decuplets:

Why is the Baryon State
called Exotic?
Any baryons that can not be made with this
triplet are to be considered as exotic. The simplest
configuration might consist of four quarks plus
anti-quark: QQQQQ.
This state is called a pentaquark.
Truly exotic states has Q with other flavor then
other four quarks:
uudds (S =+1, Q =+1)
ssuud (S = -2, Q = +1)
ssddu (S= -2, Q =-2)
Other states can mix with standard baryons.
(No heavy flavors considered in this talk (see H1 talk)

Indeed, history of S = +1 system
search was not encouraging:

Prediction of narrow and
exotic light baryons
In 1997 D. Diakonov, V. Petrov and
Z+(1530), later Θ+(1530)
M. Polyakov proposed, on basis of nK+ or pK0
S = +1
uudds
a chiral soliton model, a low-mass
anti-decuplet of pentaquarks
(qqqqq).
Predicted
0 N(1710)
lower mass, s=+1 state has mass of
1/2 1 3/2 I
1530 MeV/c2 and narrow width -3/2 -1 -1/2
Σ(1890)
<15 MeV/c2.
Three

baryons in the triangle corners are
exotic.
They

have been bold enough to persuade

these states, so in the beginning of

DIANA BC at ITEP(MOSCOW)
The peak near
1540 MeV/c2
of total 73 events has
estimated background of
44 events, resulting in
statistical significance of
4.4 σ
Gaussian fit of the peak
yields:
M = 1539 ± 2 MeV/c2
Γ <9MeV/ c2
(compatible with
instrumental resolution)

All previous experiments were not designed
for pentaquark search(except LEPS(03) and
DIANA).Several high statistics dedicated
experiments are now in progress:
LEPS(04) is a dedicated experiment for
pentaquark search.
Preliminary results are presented by
T.Nakano on March 24 and K. Hicks on May 4.
Jefferson Lab has an pentaquark
experimental program (V.D. Burkert):
CLAS-G11 –> 20X increase of statistics (March-April)
PQE(Jlab 04-012) –> high resolution study(running)
Several Jlab experiments are under preparation.

• Preliminary data (not yet published)
• Higher statistics (5-10 times more)
• Minimal “cuts” on the data:
– Particle ID of K+, K– Missing mass = Nucleon mass
– Remove f-meson production events
• Further cuts:
– Photon energy
– Remove events with more than 2 tracks
– Remove L(1520)
