Pentaquarks uudd q with One Color Sextet Diquark
Abstract
The masses of pentaquarks uudd s are calculated within the framework of a semirelativistic effective QCD Hamiltonian, using a diquark picture. This approximation allows a correct treatment of the confinement, assumed here to be similar to a Y-junction. With only color antitriplet diquarks, the mass of the pentaquark candidate with positive parity is found around 2.2 GeV. It is shown that, if a color sextet diquark is present, the lowest uudd s pentaquark is characterized by a much smaller mass with a negative parity. A mass below 1.7 GeV is computed, if the masses of the color antitriplet and color sextet diquarks are taken similar.
