Pentaquark Searches in H1
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on searches in deep inelastic ep scattering for narrow baryonic states decaying into Ξ − π − , Ξ − π + , K 0 S p and their charge conjugates, at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV. No signal for a new narrow baryonic state is observed in the mass ranges 1600-2100 MeV (Ξπ) and from threshold up to 1700 MeV (K 0 S p). The standard baryon Ξ(1530) 0 is observed in the decay mode Ξ − π + , and mass dependent upper limits on the ratio of the hypothetical pentaquark states Ξ −− 5q and Ξ 0 5q to the Ξ(1530) 0 signal are given. Also for the hypothetical strange pentaquark Θ + mass dependent upper limits on σ(ep → eΘ + X) × BR(Θ + → K 0 p) are obtained. Finally measurements of the acceptance corrected ratios σ(D * p(3100))/σ(D *) for the electropro-duction of the anti-charmed baryon state D * p(3100) decaying into D * and p are presented.

متن کاملSpectroscopy in Ep Collisions at Hera
Recent spectroscopy studies performed in high energy ep collisions by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations are described. The status of the searches for the strange pentaquark, the θ + , is presented as well as results on searches for further exotic states such as the Σ −−. The evidence for the observation of a pentaquark state containing the charmed quark, the θ c , is discussed and the result is gi...
متن کاملResonance Searches at HERA
Inclusive production of K SK 0 S in ep collisions was studied with the ZEUS detector. Significant production of J = 2 tensor mesons and of the 0 glueball candidate f0(1710) was seen. Masses and widths were compared with previous experiments. The H1 Collaboration saw a charm pentaquark candidate in the D∗p spectrum at 3.1 GeV, which was not confirmed by a ZEUS higher statistics search. With the ...
متن کاملPentaquarks in high-energy colliding experiments: perspectives from HERA
Several issues related to pentaquark searches relevant for current and future high-energy colliding experiments are discussed. We make an attempt to explain why pentaquark candidates are not seen by some experiments, and what makes the HERA experiments so special in such searches.
