Description
We study the very recently discovered Θ+(1540) at SPring-8, at ITEP and at CLAS-Thomas Jefferson Lab. We apply the same RGM techniques that already explained with success the repulsive hard core of nucleon-nucleon, kaon-nucleon exotic scattering, and the attractive hard core present in pion-nucleon and pion-pion nonexotic scattering. We find that the K-N repulsion excludes the Θ+ as a K-N s-wave pentaquark. We explore the Θ+ as a heptaquark, equivalent to a N+π+K Borromean bound state, with positive parity and total isospin I=0. We find that the kaon-nucleon repulsion is canceled by the attraction existing both in the pion-nucleon and pion-kaon channels. Although we are not yet able to bind the total three body system, we find that the Θ+ may still be a heptaquark state. We conclude with predictions that can be tested experimentally
