WHAT DOES PENTAQUARK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pentaquark

A pentaquark is a hypothetical subatomic particle consisting of four quarks and one antiquark bound together. As quarks have a baryon number of +1⁄3, and antiquarks of −1⁄3, it would have a total baryon number of 1, thus being classified as an exotic baryon. The existence of pentaquarks was originally hypothesized by Michał Praszałowicz in 1987. Several experiments reported the existence of pentaquark states in the mid-2000s, but later experiments and re-analysis of the data showed them to be statistical effects rather than true resonances.

Definition of pentaquark in the English dictionary

The definition of pentaquark in the dictionary is a postulated subatomic particle consisting of four quarks and one antiquark, thought not to exist in actuality.
