Faddeev calculation of pentaquark Θ+\Theta^+ in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model-based diquark picture

A Bethe-Salpeter-Faddeev (BSF) calculation is performed for the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ in the diquark picture of Jaffe and Wilczek in which $\Theta^+$ is a diquark-diquark-${\bar s}$ three-body system. Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is used to calculate the lowest order diagrams in the two-body scatterings of ${\bar s}D$ and $D D$. With the use of coupling constants determined from the meson sector, we find that ${\bar s}D$ interaction is attractive in s-wave while $DD$ interaction is repulsive in p-wave. With only the lowest three-body channel considered, we do not find a bound $\frac 12^+$ pentaquark state. Instead, a bound pentaquark $\Theta^+$ with $\frac 12^-$ is obtained with a unphysically strong vector mesonic coupling constants.Comment: 22 pages, 11 figures, accepted version in Phys. Rev. C. Summary of main changes/corrections: 1. "which only holds at tree level" below the eq. (23) is added. 2. In the last paragraph of p.23 we added a remark that the coupling constant obtained from Lambda mass is different from the estimate as obtained from the meson spectru
