A Faddeev Calculation for Pentaquark Theta^+ in Diquark Picture with Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Type Interaction

A Bethe-Salpeter-Faddeev (BSF) calculation is performed for the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ in the diquark picture of Jaffe and Wilczek in which $\Theta^+$ is a diquark-diquark-${\bar s}$ three-body system. Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is used to calculate the lowest order diagrams in the two-body scatterings of ${\bar s}D$ and $D D$. With the use of coupling constants determined from the meson sector, we find that ${\bar s}D$ interaction is attractive while $DD$ interaction is repulsive, and there is no bound $\frac 12^+$ pentaquark state. A bound pentaquark $\Theta^+$ can only be obtained with unphysically strong vector mesonic coupling constants.
