Abstract:
The mass of the newly discovered pentaquark is calculated within the framework of the SU(3) Skyrme Model. Various estimates based on the \emph{model independent} approach are compared with the model results and with the Chiral Quark Model. Our discussion shows that Θ+\Theta^{+} is light with the mass of the order 1.5 GeV.
