Search for a strongly decaying neutral charmed pentaquark
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a search for a charmed pentaquark decaying strongly to D(∗)−p. Finding no evidence for such a state, we set limits on the cross section times branching ratio relative to D∗− and D− under particular assumptions about the production mechanism.

Search for charmed pentaquarks in high energy neutrino interactions
Several experiments have reported the existence of a bound state of five quarks with s̄ content, knows as Θ. However, the existence of pentaquark states with charm quark content is still controversial. In this paper we focus on weakly decaying charmed pentaquarks and show how they can be searched for in high energy anti-neutrino interactions. We discuss their possible mass and branching ratios a...
متن کاملPentaquark Searches in H1
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...
متن کاملHow to Search for Pentaquarks in High Energy Hadronic Interactions
The strange-anticharmed Pentaquark is a uudc̄s or uddc̄s five-quark baryon that is expected to be either a narrow resonance, or possibly even stable against strong and electromagnetic decay. We describe this hyperon here, its structure, binding energy and lifetime, resonance width, production mechanisms, production cross sections, and decay modes. We describe techniques to reduce backgrounds in s...
متن کاملPentaquark Update After Ten Years
Studying scattering of heavy flavor hadrons and looking for bound states is shown to give experimental information otherwise unobtainable about effective two-body interactions between constituent (qq)6 and (q̄q)8 pairs respectively in color sextet and color octet states. All the successes of the constituent quark model in (uds) hadron spectroscopy are shown to depend only on effective two-body i...

The strange-anticharmed Pentaquark is a uud¯ cs or udd¯ cs five-quark baryon that is expected to be either a narrow resonance, or possibly even stable against strong decay. We describe this hyperon here; its structure, binding energy and lifetime, resonance width, production mechanisms and decay modes. We estimate production cross sections, techniques to reduce backgrounds in search experiments...
