Hadronic Decays Involving Heavy Pentaquarks
Recently several experiments have reported evidences for pentaquark
. H1 experiment at HERA-B has also reported evidence for .
is interpreted as a bound state of an with other four light
quarks which is a member of the anti-decuplet under flavor .
While is a state by replacing the in by a . One can also form by replacing the by a . The
charmed and bottomed heavy pentaquarks form triplets and anti-sixtets under
. We study decay processes involving at least one heavy pentaquark
using and estimate the decay widths for some decay modes. We find
several relations for heavy pentaquarks decay into another heavy pentaquark and
a or a which can be tested in the future. can decay
through weak interaction to charmed heavy pentaquarks. We also study some
decay modes with a heavy pebtaquark in the final states. Experiments at the
current factories can provide important information about the heavy
pentaquark properties.Comment: RevTex 20 pages. Revised version. Discussions on the recent H1 data
