Abstract

We investigate two exclusive reactions with a Theta+ pentaquark in the final state: electroproduction of a K meson on the nucleon, and K+ scattering on a neutron target producing a lepton pair. These reactions offer unique opportunities to investigate the structure of pentaquark baryons at parton level. We discuss the generalized parton distributions for the N --> Theta+ transition and give the leading order amplitude for these processes in the Bjorken regime.
