Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 8 What is a Pentaquark? QCD is “constructed” to produce colour-neutral objects only; this agrees with well-known fact that only known hadrons are mesons and baryons which have {qq} or {qqq} content; but… QCD does not forbid colour-neutral objects with content other than {qq} or {qqq}.

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 9 What is a Pentaquark? QCD is “constructed” to produce colour-neutral objects only; this agrees with well-known fact that only known hadrons are mesons and baryons which have {qq} or {qqq} content; but… QCD does not forbid colour-neutral objects with content other than {qq} or {qqq}. (in fact – what about sea-quarks?)

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 66 Is this just a statistical glitch? might be … after all, there are Freak Waves

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 67 Is this just a statistical glitch? might be … after all, there are Freak Waves

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 68 Is this just a statistical glitch?

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 69 Is this just a statistical glitch? Freak waves, up to 35 m high, have claimed 200 large ships during the past 20 years…

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 70 Is this just a statistical glitch? Let’s check …

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 71 Masses from the different experiments copyright: Daniel Barna NOTE: M  + clusters in two groups

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 72 Masses from the different experiments copyright: Daniel Barna NOTE: M  + clusters in two groups M   1518 MeV 1522 MeV 1518 MeV but M  1520 is close to book value (when available)

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF experiments claim positive sightings significances are large (between 4 and >7!) many internal inconsistencies: masses don’t match; Hermes-CLAS:  (1520) /  + ratio; Zeus doesn’t see charmed PQ, seen by H1; Zeus p and p results don’t match; widths are inconsistent; and more … Is this just a statistical glitch? discovery (this means: discovery!!) but

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF experiments claim positive sightings significances are large (between 4 and >7!) many internal inconsistencies: masses don’t match; Hermes-CLAS:  (1520) /  + ratio; Zeus doesn’t see charmed PQ, seen by H1; Zeus p and p results don’t match; widths are inconsistent; and more … Is this just a statistical glitch? discovery (this means: discovery!!) but “It is difficult to see how the ZEUS peak can be the  + unless many other experiments are wrong.” (K. Hicks)

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 75 Should we trust Theory? well … QCD is a recognized theory but … no exact calculations yet for fragmentation processes. Lattice calculations start to emerge, but with contradicting results. More: quark model calculations and Lattice calculations do not agree wrt. parity. This applies also to cross section predictions… Thus, don’t use it as argument…

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 76 Is this just a statistical glitch? Or is it something else?

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 77 Is this just a statistical glitch? Or is it something else? Note from the literature: H. C. Anderson ( 1837 ) described a comparable behaviour in: “ Keiserens nye Klaeder”

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 78 Is this just a statistical glitch? Or is it something else? Note from the literature: H. C. Anderson ( 1837 ) described a comparable behaviour in: “ Keiserens nye Klaeder” “The King’s new clothes”

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 79 So, is there nothing positive?

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 80 Some spin-off effects Spring-8 : cited 315 times in 2004 Diakonov : cited 256 times DIANA : cited 248 times CLAS : cited 235 times NA49 : cited 181 times SAPHIR : cited 140 times …

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 82 Some spin-off effects Spring-8 : cited 315 times in 2004 Diakonov : cited 256 times DIANA : cited 248 times CLAS : cited 235 times NA49 : cited 181 times SAPHIR : cited 140 times … Note: BBC had the news before the Pentaquark was confirmed 17 days before 1 st confirmation was available to scientists…

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 83 What if the  + doesn’t exist? Then we are back to the real problem: ”Why only mesons and hadrons?” Note: if Nature doesn’t realize all the previsions of our theory, then theory (most likely) is the culprit. Most likely reason: Some fundamentals not yet implemented. the non-existence of PQ’s is more exciting than their existence. Therefore: the non-existence of PQ’s is more exciting than their existence.

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 84 Towards a Summary and Conclusion Many experiments have claimed positive evidence for Pentaquarks; many non-sightings have set stringent upper limits ; strict correlation: positive sightings are correlated with small statistics, non sightings are correlated with large statistics; *) positive sightings find large cross sections, but are at variance with established resonances; large internal discrepancies persist: Masses disagree by many  ; Cross sections differ by order s of magnitude; Pairs of experiments mutually exclude each other; … includes CLAS-g11!

Th. S. Bauer - NIKHEF 94 “I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly; you make me quite giddy!” “All right,” said the PQ; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with a cynical grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
