Abstract:
If the number of colorsNcis taken large, baryons and their excitations can be considered in a mean-field approach. We argue that the mean field in baryons breaks spontaneously the spherical andSU(3) flavor symmetries, but retains theSU(2) symmetry of simultaneous rotations in space and isospace. The one-quark and quark-hole excitations in the mean field, together with theSU(3) rotational bands about them determine the spectrum of baryon resonances, which turns out to be in good accordance with reality when one putsNc=3. A by-product of this scheme is a confirmation of the light pentaquark Θ+baryon uudds as a typical Gamov—Teller resonance long known in nuclear physics. An extension of the same large-Nclogic to charmed baryons leads to a prediction of a anti-decapenta (15)-plet of charmed pentaquarks, two of which, B++c=cuuds and B+c= cudds, may be light and stable with respect to strong decays.
