Grozdovi obojenih s-valnih kvarkova s lomljenjem okusne simetrije
We study the properties of coloured three-particle s-wave quark clusters when flavour symmetry is broken. The relevance of such clusters for models of pentaquarks is shortly mentioned.Proučavamo svojstva obojenih tročestičnih s-valnih kvarkovskih grozdova s lomljenjem okusne simetrije.

The discovery and properties of pentaquarks
The pentaquarks are exotic baryons formed of four quarks and an antiquarks.
Their existence has been discussed in the literature over the last 30 years or
more, first in connection with kaon nucleon scattering data. The subject has
been revived by the end of 2002 when experimental evidence of a narrow baryon
of strangeness = + 1, and mass 1530 MeV has been found. This is
interpreted as the lightest member of an SU(3)-flavor antidecuplet. Here we
shall mainly review the predictions of pentaquark properties as e.g. mass, spin
and parity, within constituent quark models.
Both light and heavy pentaquarks will be presented.Comment: Plenary talk, MESON2004 Conference Proceedings, Crakow, June 4-8 200
Flavored exotic multibaryons and hypernuclei in topological soliton models
The energies of baryon states with positive strangeness, or anti-charm
(-beauty) are estimated in chiral soliton approach, in the "rigid oscillator"
version of the bound state soliton model proposed by Klebanov and Westerberg.
Positive strangeness states can appear as relatively narrow nuclear levels
(Theta-hypernuclei), the states with heavy anti-flavors can be bound with
respect to strong interactions in the original Skyrme variant of the model (SK4
variant). The binding energies of anti-flavored states are estimated also in
the variant of the model with 6-th order term in chiral derivatives in the
lagrangian as solitons stabilizer (SK6 variant). The latter variant is less
attractive, and nuclear states with anti-charm or anti-beauty can be unstable
relative to strong interactions. The chances to get bound hypernuclei with
heavy antiflavors are greater within "nuclear variant" of the model with
rescaled model parameter (Skyrme constant e or e' decreased by ~30%) which is
expected to be valid for baryon numbers greater than B ~10. The rational map
approximation is used to describe multiskyrmions with baryon number up to ~30
and to calculate the quantities necessary for their quantization (moments of
inertia, sigma-term, etc.).Comment: 24 pages, 7 table
Z^* Resonances: Phenomenology and Models
We explore the phenomenology of, and models for, the Z^* resonances, the
lowest of which is now well established, and called the Theta. We provide an
overview of three models which have been proposed to explain its existence
and/or its small width, and point out other relevant predictions, and potential
problems, for each. The relation to what is known about KN scattering,
including possible resonance signals in other channels, is also discussed.Comment: 29 pages, uses RevTeX4; expanded version (published form
Spin structure of the nucleon: QCD evolution, lattice results and models
The question how the spin of the nucleon is distributed among its quark and
gluon constituents is still a subject of intense investigations. Lattice QCD
has progressed to provide information about spin fractions and orbital angular
momentum contributions for up- and down-quarks in the proton, at a typical
scale \mu^2~4 GeV^2. On the other hand, chiral quark models have traditionally
been used for orientation at low momentum scales. In the comparison of such
model calculations with experiment or lattice QCD, fixing the model scale and
the treatment of scale evolution are essential. In this paper, we present a
refined model calculation and a QCD evolution of lattice results up to
next-to-next-to-leading order. We compare this approach with the Myhrer-Thomas
scenario for resolving the proton spin puzzle.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, equation (9) has been corrected leading to a

Moscow-type NN-potentials and three-nucleon bound states
A detailed description of Moscow-type (M-type) potential models for the NN
interaction is given. The microscopic foundation of these models, which appear
as a consequence of the composite quark structure of nucleons, is discussed.
M-type models are shown to arise naturally in a coupled channel approach when
compound or bag-like six-quark states, strongly coupled to the NN channel, are
eliminated from the complete multiquark wave function. The role of the
deep-lying bound states that appear in these models is elucidated. By
introducing additional conditions of orthogonality to these compound six-quark
states, a continuous series of almost on-shell equivalent nonlocal interaction
models, characterized by a strong reduction or full absence of a local
repulsive core (M-type models), is generated. The predictions of these
interaction models for 3N systems are analyzed in detail. It is shown that
M-type models give, under certain conditions, a stronger binding of the 3N
system than the original phase-equivalent model with nodeless wave functions.
An analysis of the 3N system with the new versions of the Moscow NN potential
describing also the higher even partial waves is presented. Large deviations
from conventional NN force models are found for the momentum distribution in
the high momentum region. In particular, the Coulomb displacement energy for
nuclei ^3He - ^3H displays a promising agreement with experiment when the ^3H
binding energy is extrapolated to the experimental value.Comment: 23 pages Latex, 9 figures, to appear in Phys.Rev.
