Background Information
- Spin Structure Measurements from E143 at SLAC , Linda M. Stuart representing the E143 Collaborations, SLAC-PUB-7101 (1996). This paper provides a good background on form factor measurements.
- The Electromagnetic Properties of Dirac Particles , L. L. Foldy, Phys. Rev. 87, 688 (1952). Background reading on form-factor theory.
- Exotic Anti-Decuplet of Baryons: Prediction from Chiral Solitons , D. Diakonov, V. Petrov, and M. Polyakov -- the prediction of the Pentaquark!
- Positive Parity Pentaquarks Pragmatically Predicted , Carl E. Carlson, Christopher D. Carone, Herry J. Kwee, and Vahagn Nazaryan -- a constituent quark model of the Pentaquark.
- Pentaquark hadrons from lattice QCD , F. Csikor, Z. Fodor, S.D. Katz, and T.G. Kovacs
- DOE/NSF Nuclear Science Advisory Comittee , includes links to the most recent Long Range Plan (and overview).
