Abstract

The masses of uudd[`(s)],\text uudd[`(d)]uudd\bar s,{\text{ }}uudd\bar d , and uuss[`(d)]uuss\bar d pentaquarks are evaluated in a framework of both the effective Hamiltonian approach to QCD and the spinless Salpeter equation using the Jaffe-Wilczek diquark approximation and the string interaction for the diquark-diquark-antiquark system. The pentaquark masses are found to be in the region above 2 GeV. That indicates that the Goldstone boson exchange effects may play an important role in the light pentaquarks. The same calculations yield the mass of [ud]2 [`(c)][ud]^2 \bar c pentaquark ∼3250 MeV and [ud]2 [`(b)][ud]^2 \bar b pentaquark ∼6509 MeV.
