Abstract

We propose that the recently discovered \Th(1540)baryon is a bound state of four quarks and an antiquark, containing two highly correlated $ud$-pairs. If so, the \Th(1540) has positive parity, and it lies in an near-ideally mixed SU(3)_{f}\mathbf{\bar{10}}_{f}\oplus \mathbf{8}_{f}.The Roper resonance and the P_{11}(1710) fit naturally into this classification. We predict an isospin 3/2 multiplet of \Xi$'(S=-2) with J^{\Pi}=\half^{+} around 1750 MeV. A search for manifestly exotic \Xi^{+} and \Xi^{--} in this mass range could provide a sharp test of our proposal.
