Abstract

We study the selfenergy of the Θ+ pentaquark in nuclei associated with two types of interaction: the KN decay of the Θ+ and two meson baryon decay channels of the Θ+. Whereas the potential related to the first source is quite weak, the second kind of interaction produces a large and attractive potential that could lead to the existence of Θ+ nuclear bound states.
