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, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
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.
