1.Introduction One of the most important issues for Θ + (1540) is to understand its extremely narrow decay width Γ<1 MeV. Several ideas have been proposed as a.I=2 assignment b.Jaffe-Wilczek’s diquark picture ⇒ J P =1/2(+) and 3/2(+) c.πKN hepta-quark picture ⇒ J P =1/2(+) d.The string picture e.J P =3/2(-) assignment ⇒ J P =3/2(-) In this talk, we are mainly interested in J P =3/2(±) possibilities: 1.We first present our numerical results on J P =1/2(±) penta-quarks briefly emplyoing a diquak-type interpolating field using a flavor dependent boundary condition(HBC) 2.We then present our numerical results on J P =3/2(±) penta-quarks employing three Rarita-Schwinger interpolating fields using 1000 gauge field configurations for high statistics

1.Spin of Θ + has not yet been determined experimentally. 2.J P =3/2( - ) assignment can solve the puzzle of the narrow decay width. (proposed by A.Hosaka et al., PRD71,074021(2005).) Advantage: (a) It allows the configuration of (0s) 5. (b) It only decays into a d-wave KN state. Suppressed overlap between these two states The decay width is expected to be significantly narrow. Disadvantage: (a) The constatituent quark picture suggests such a 5Q state is quite heavy. (← due to the color-magnetic interaction) Since it is not apriori clear whether such a conventional framework can be applied to a new exotic 5Q system as Θ + (1540) or not, it is desirable to perform a direct lattice QCD calculation. 3.J P =3/2(+) is also interesting, which is suggested by the diquark picture. J P =3/2(±) possibilities HOWEVER S-diq The total spin(parity) is 1/2(+) or 3/2(+). ⇒ 3/2(+) penta-quark may have a narrow decay width ! p-wave

Lattice QCD studies of the penta quarks ★ There are several lattice QCD calculations of penta-quarks available. (published one only) SPIN 1/2 SPIN 3/2 Most of them are devoted to spin 1/2 states except for the recent two.

Excited state contributions are reducing A single state dominate the correlator G(t) in this region.

A plateau in the effective mass plot indicates G(t) is saturated by a single-state contribution. “Effective mass plot” The correlator can be expressed as a sum: The Effective Mass is defined as: negligible ! If G(t) is dominated by a single state: Then we have, This can be considered as “average” of masses at each time-slice t (Constant effective mass)

5.Tetra-quarks(4Q): (work in progress) A lattice QCD calculation using the πKN interpolating field(7-body op.) is difficult. πK subsystem is much easier to study. It is a 4Q system with the quantum number of κ. κ together with f 0 (600), f 0 (980), a 0 (980) forms the scalar nonet, which are candidates of tetra(4Q) quark states. 4Q with “HBC” 4Q with PBC 0 + meson (chiral extrapolation) Our preliminary result suggests an existence of a 4Q resonance. work in progress. ππ threshold(“HBC”) ππ threshold(PBC) PRELIMINARY ππ scattering state Since these tetra-quarks are interesting target in their own right, we are currently performing 4Q lattice QCD calculations from a more general point of view.
