Abstract

We perform a QCD sum rule analysis for the pentaquark baryon Theta+ with the non-interacting KN contribution treated carefully. The coupling of the Theta+ current to the KN state is evaluated by applying the soft kaon theorem and vacuum saturation. When using a five-quark current including scalar and pseudo-scalar diquarks, the KN contribution turns out not to be very important and the previous result of the negative parity Theta+ is reproduced again. The Borel analysis of the correlation function for Theta+ with the KN continuum states subtracted yields the mass of the JP= 1/2- Theta+ around 1.5 GeV.
