Using the SU(3) flavor symmetry, we construct the chiral Lagrangians for the light and heavy pentaquarks. The correction from the nonzero quark is taken into account perturbatively. We derive the Gell-Mann$-$Okubo type relations for various pentaquark multiplet masses and Coleman-Glashow relations for anti-sextet heavy pentaquark magnetic moments. We study possible decays of pentaquarks into conventional hadrons. We also study the interactions between and within various pentaquark multiplets and derive their coupling constants in the symmetry limit. Possible kinematically allowed pionic decay modes are pointed out.
We derive the chiral effective Lagrangian for excited heavy-light mesons from QCD under proper approximations. We focus on the chiral partners with $j_l^P=frac{3}{2}^+$ and $j_l^P=frac{3}{2}^-$ which amounts to ($1^+,2^+$) and ($1^-,2^-$) states respectively. The low energy constants including the masses of the chiral partners are calculated. The calculated spectrum for the excited mesons are found roughly consistent with experimental data. In addition, our results indicate that quantum numbers of $B_J(5970)$ can be identified with $1^-$ or $2^-$.
As a successive work to [Phys.Rev.D 102 (2020), 034034], we derive the $1/m_Q$ corrections to chiral effective Lagrangian for heavy-light mesons from QCD under proper approximations. The low energy constants in the effective Lagrangian are expressed in terms of the light quark self-energy and heavy quark mass $m_Q$. Numerical results of the low energy constants with $1/m_Q$ corrections are given. We find that the results of pion decay constant and the masses of heavy-light mesons are improved coherently compared to that obtained in the heavy quark limit.
We discuss the sensitivity of the $e^+ e^- rightarrow W^+ W^-$ cross section at a future $e^+ e^-$ collider with $sqrt{s}=500$GeV to the non-decoupling effects of a techni-$rho$ like vector resonance. The non-decoupling effects are parametrized by the chiral coefficients of the electroweak chiral perturbation theory. We define renormalization scale independent chiral coefficients by subtracting the Standard Model loop contributions. We also estimate the size of the decoupling effects of the techni-$rho$ resonance by using a phenomenological Lagrangian including the vector resonance.
$QQ^prime qqbar q$ pentaquarks are studied in a potential model, under the hypothesis that they are composite objects of two diquarks and one antiquark. The interaction between two colored objects includes two contributions, one based on the $qbar q$ potential in QCD, computed in the gauge/string duality approach, and another describing the spin-spin interaction. The model has been extended to investigate pentaquarks with different quark content, as $Qqqqbar q$ and $Qqqqbar Q$, the latter including the states observed by LHCb, $P_c(4380)^+$ and $P_c(4450)^+$, later updated, with a new data sample, to $P_c(4312)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$, and $P_c(4457)^+$.
We find that several thresholds can contribute to the enhancements of the newly observed heavy pentaquark candidates $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ via the anomalous triangle singularity (ATS) transitions in the specific kinematics of $Lambda_bto J/psi K^- p$. Apart from the observed two peaks we find that another peaks around 4.5 GeV can also be produced by the ATS. We also show that the $Sigma_c^{(*)}$ can be produced at leading order in $Lambda_b$ decay. This process is different from the triangle diagram and its threshold enhancement only appears as CUSP effects if there is no pole structure or the ATS involved. The threshold interaction associated with the presence of the ATS turns out to be a general phenomenon and plays a crucial role in the understanding of candidates for exotic states.
