abstract

We propose that the recently discovered \Theta baryon is a bound state of four quarks and an antiquark, containing two highly correlated ud-pairs. If so, the \Theta baryon has positive parity, and it lies in an near-ideally mixed SU(3)_{f} \mathbf{\bar{10}}_{f} oplus \mathbf{8}_{f}. The Roper resonance and the P_{11}(1710) fit naturally into this classification. We predict an isospin 3/2 multiplet of \Xi's (S=-2) with J^{\Pi}=\half^{+} around 1750 MeV. A search for manifestly exotic \Xi^{+} and \Xi^{--} in this mass range could provide a sharp test of our proposal. We predict that charm and bottom analogues of the \Theta baryon are stable against strong decays.

Short-Range Correlations Between Partons in a Proton

hep-ph · 2026-06-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Proposes EIC jet-pion-electron measurements to detect and quantify short-range quark pair correlations in protons, expecting ud pairs to dominate due to diquark attraction.
