Magnetic moment of the pentaquark state $\Theta^+(1540)$

Abstract

In this article, we study the magnetic moment of the pentaquark $ \Theta^+(1540)$ as (scalar)diquark-(pseudoscalar)diquark-antiquark state with the QCD sum rules approach in the external electromagnetic field. Due to the special structure of the interpolating current, only the electromagnetic interactions of the $s$ quark with the external field have contributions to the magnetic moment with tensor structure $\{\sigma_{\mu\nu} {\hat p} +{\hat p}\sigma_{\mu\nu}\}$. The numerical results indicate the magnetic moment of the pentaquark state $ \Theta^+(1540)$ is about $\mu_{\Theta^+}=(0.16\pm0.03)\mu_N$.
