Some (further) Comments on the Theta(1540) Pentaquark
Additional broader I=0 states in the KN channel near (1540) are
expected in many models, making the absence of any signature in the
K-deuteron scattering data even more puzzling.
In an ideal "three-body" picture the is viewed as two compact
ud(1)ud(2) color diquarks and an quark. A "QCD-type"
inequality involving , the mass of the L=1 excitation and that of a new I=0 tetraquark vector meson then follows.
The inequality suggests a very light new vector meson, and is violated.
We note that "associated production" of the pentaquark with another
quadriquark or anti-pentaquark may be favored. This along with some estimates
of the actual production cross sections suggest that the can be found
in BaBar or Belle e-e colliders.Comment: 6 page
