“Observation of New Pentaquark States and Other Exotic Hadrons”

 

Abstract: 

 

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.

I will describe these results in a broader context of experimental evidence for multiquark states with more than minimal quark content.
