This article claims discovery of pentaquarks, while they are still highly controversial within the scientific community. If nobody objects, I will rephrase this article to a much more conservative wording soon! gbrandt 09:27, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I've rephrased it to say this. --Fwb22 18:10, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

"by accelerating energetic photons into liquid hydrogen" How does one accelerate a photon? Should this be "proton'?

I've rephrased it to say "by firing a high-energy photon beam in to deuterium" --Curtis95112 09:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Out-of-date

I noticed that this page would appear to have been not updated in at least one respect. In the section "History", there is a statment that "More results from CLAS at Jefferson Lab are expected later in 2005". Will someone please update this?

I'm not an expert in this subfield of physics, but I've updated the article to reflect what I've read in the latest papers. -- Xerxes 17:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambig check

Howdy, I was helping handle the SVD disambiguation, and noticed this is the only article referring to the experiment/research group probably referred to in doi:10.1016/S0375-9474(01)01519-6. Can someone check the SVD page, make sure the description is coherent, and consider creating an article for the group/experiment if it is notable.

I also disambiguated the HERMES link to HERMES experiment. It matches the broad subject area, but I have no way of knowing if this is precisely what was meant. Can someone check? JackSchmidt (talk) 03:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
