PHANTOM Pentaquark Hunt by Applying Neutral Track Over-constraint Method

Coordinator: VILNIAUS UNIVERSITETAS (LT)

Pentaquarks, recently discovered in LHCb at CERN became one of the most important discoveries of the last century. Quarks combine in threes to make up protons and neutrons, a quark and an antiquark form a meson. It was long hypothesized that other multiquark states should exist in Nature, among those - tetraquarks, made of four quarks, and pentaquarks - made of five quarks. Only in 2015 the LHCb experiment yielded a discovery of such states. Because of the complexity of Quantum Chromodynamics, theoretical predictions are very difficult to make. Input from the experiment is needed to steer the…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2025-08-01 to 2027-07-31.
