Abstract

Pentaquark states with strangeness S = +1 and IJπ = 01 2 ±,12 1 ±,03 2 ±,12 3 ± are investigated using the QCD sum rule technique. Throughout the calculation, we emphasize the importance of the establishment of a valid Borel window, which corresponds to a region of the Borel mass, where the operator product expansion (OPE) converges and the presumed ground state pole dominates the sum rules. We obtain such a Borel window by constructing the sum rules from the differenece of two carefully chosen independent correlators and by calculating the OPE up to dimension 14. As a result, we conclude that the state with qauntum numbers 03 2 + state appears to be the most probable candidate for the experimantally observed Θ+(1540), while we also obtain states with 02 1 −,11 2 ,13 2 + at slightly higher mass regions. We furthermore discuss the contribution of the KN scattering states to the sum rules, and the possible influence of these states on our results.
