ABSTRACT: We study spin $\frac12$ hadronic states in quenched lattice QCD to search for a possible $S=+1$ pentaquark resonance. Simulations are carried out on $83\times 24$, $103\times 24$, $123\times 24$ and $163\times 24$ lattices at $\beta$=5.7 at the quenched level with the standard plaquette gauge action and the Wilson quark action. We adopt two independent operators with the quantum numbers $(I,J)=(0,\frac12)$ to construct $2\times 2$ correlation matrices. After the diagonalization of the correlation matrices, we successfully obtain the energies of the lowest state and the 2nd-lowest state in this channel. The analysis of the volume dependence of the energies and spectral weight factors indicates that a resonance state is likely to exist slightly above the NK threshold in $(I,J^P)=(0,\frac12^-)$ channel.
