Title: What can
QCD teach us about the Pentaquark and Vice Versa
Abstract: The experimental
discovery of the $\Theta^+$ Pentaquark opens a new chapter in hadron
spectroscopy and may help in our understanding of how hadrons are made
from quarks and gluons. The first question arises from its different
flavor structure from the anticharmed strange pentaquark $\bar c suud$
predicted by the quark model to be the most favorable pentaquark
candidate. The difference has led to two-cluster models to separate the
pairs of identical flaver pairs whose short range color-magnetic
interaction is repulsive.
