The width of $Θ^{+}$ for large $N_{c}$ in chiral quark soliton model

Abstract

In the chiral quark soliton model the smallness of $Θ^+$ width is due to the cancellation of the coupling constants which are of different order in $N_c$. We show that taking properly into account the flavor structure of relevant SU(3) representations for arbitrary number of colors enahnces the nonleading term by an additional factor of $N_c$, making the cancellation consistent with the $N_c$ counting. Moreover, we show that, for the same reason, $Θ^+$ width is suppressed by a group-theoretical factor ${\cal O}(1/N_c)$ with respect to $Δ$ and discuss the $N_c$ dependence of the phase space factors for these two decays.
