It is found that the in-medium properties of $\\Theta^+$ are dramatically modified by its internal structure. The effective mass of $\\Theta^+$ in medium is, at normal nuclear density, about 1030 MeV in the point-like model, while it is about 1120 MeV in the model of K$\\pi$N pentaquark. The nuclear potential depth of $\\Theta^+$ in the K$\\pi$N model is approximately -37.5 MeV, much shallower than -90 MeV in the usual point-like RMF model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-10-22T13:05:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.30.Fe", "21.65.+f" ], "keywords": [ "relativistic mean field theory", "in-medium properties", "relativistic mean-field theory", "usual point-like rmf model", "nuclear potential depth" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
