Summary of Lattice Pentaquarks

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

The status of lattice pentaquark studies will be reviewed. Claims in the literature are varied, with some calculations reporting evidence of a pentaquark state and others indicating nothing beyond a nucleon-kaon scattering state. The challenges in the identification of resonances and scattering states in lattice QCD will be discussed. I will identify the differences between various lattice pentaquark simulations and aim to provide a physical description of the results.
