Observation of new pentaquark states and other exotic hadrons

  • Event time: 4:00pm until 5:00pm
  • Event date: 14th June 2019
  • Speaker: Professor Tomasz Skwarnicki (Syracuse University)
  • Location: Higgs Centre Seminar Room, Room 4305,

Event details

 The LHCb experiment has just discovered new narrow pentaquark states decaying to J/psi p, which shed more light into the nature of the J/psi p structures reported by LHCb in Lambda_b decays four years ago. We will describe these results in a broader context of experimental evidence for multiquark states with more than minimal quark content. Future experimental prospects will be outlined.
