1 Dynamics of Multiquark Systems: Mass, Width and Exotics 6 0 a∗ 0 Makoto Oka 2 t aDepartment of Physics, H-27, Tokyo Institute of Technology c Meguro, Tokyo 152-8551 Japan O 7 Exotic multi-quark states are examined in the quark model and in QCD. Current status 2 of theoretical studies of the pentaquark Θ+ is reported. We show recent analyses of multi- 1 quark components of baryons. A novel method to extract a compact excited state in the v 0 lattice QCD is applied. We also discuss how to determine mixings of different Fock 6 components in the hadron in the QCD sum rule approach. 3 0 1 1. Introduction: Quark Model 6 0 / The quark model describes mesons and baryons in terms of constituent quarks. Mesons h p are qq¯ states and baryons are qqq, while all the other combinations of quarks, such as qqq¯q¯, - qqqqq¯, are called exotic. The constituent quarks must be effective degrees of freedom which p e are valid only in low energy regime. They must have the same conserved charges as the h QCD quarks: baryon number 1/3, spin 1/2, color 3 and flavor 3. They acquire dynamical : v masses of order ∼ 300 − 500 MeV induced by chiral symmetry breaking of the QCD i X vacuum. r The ground-state mesons and baryons have been classified based on SU (3) ×SU (2) → a SU (6) symmetry, i.e., the pseudoscalar and vector meson nonets, and the octet and decuplet baryons. Their mass spectra, in particular, the pattern of SU(3) breaking, and the electro-magnetic properties are well reproduced by minimum dynamics of quarks, quark confinement and color-magnetic type interactions, except for pseudoscalar mesons,
