Pentaquark Theta+ in nuclear matter and Theta+ hypernuclei

Abstract:
We study the properties of the in nuclear matter and hypernuclei within the quark mean-field (QMF) model, which has been successfully used for the description of ordinary nuclei and hypernuclei. With the assumption that the non-strange mesons couple only to the and quarks inside baryons, a sizable attractive potential of the in nuclear matter is achieved as a consequence of the cancellation between the attractive scalar potential and the repulsive vector potential. We investigate the single-particle energies in light, medium, and heavy nuclei. More bound states are obtained in hypernuclei in comparison with those in hypernuclei.- 21.30.Fe
