Observation of an exotic S = +1 baryon in exclusive photoproduction from the deuteron.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an exclusive measurement of the reaction gammad-->K(+)K(-)pn, a narrow peak that can be attributed to an exotic baryon with strangeness S=+1 is seen in the K(+)n invariant mass spectrum. The peak is at 1.542+/-0.005 GeV/c(2) with a measured width of 0.021 GeV/c(2) FWHM, which is largely determined by experimental mass resolution. The statistical significance of the peak is (5.2+/-0.6)sigma. The mass and width of the observed peak are consistent with recent reports of a narrow S=+1 baryon by other experimental groups.

Exclusive measurement of coherent η photoproduction from the deuteron
Coherent photoproduction of η mesons from the deuteron has been measured from threshold up to Eγ ≈ 750 MeV using the photon spectrometer TAPS at the tagged photon facility at the Mainz microtron MAMI. For the first time, differential coherent cross sections have been deduced from the coincident detection of the η meson and the recoil deuteron. A missing energy analysis was used for the suppress...
متن کاملEvidence for an Exotic Baryon State, Θ(1540), in Photoproduction Reactions from Protons and Deuterons with CLAS
CLAS photoproduction data on deuterium and hydrogen targets have been analyzed in a search for an exotic baryon state with strangeness S = +1, the Θ (originally named the Z). This resonance was predicted recently in theoretical work based on the chiral soliton model as a lowest mass member of an anti-decuplet of 5-quark states. The reaction γd → pKKn, which requires a final state interaction in...

Tensor analyzing powers in forward angle exclusive π-meson photoproduction on deuteron. Abstract The target tensor analyzing powers of the process γd → π − pp had been studied in the plane wave impulse approximation, if both ejected protons are detected in coincidence and in the directions, symmetrical respect to the incoming photon momentum , being in the proton plane. The matrix elements of t...
متن کاملHadron Spectroscopy in Electrons-protons Collisions at Hera
Experimental evidence for an exotic baryon first came in 2003 from the observation of a S = +1 narrow resonance 1 at 1540± 10 MeV which can be associated with an exotic pentaquark state with content uudds̄. Confirmation came quickly from a series of experiments, with the observation of sharp peaks 2,3,4,5 in the nK and pK S invariant mass spectrum near 1540 MeV, in each case with a width limited...
متن کاملExotic baryon states in topological soliton models
The novel observation of an exotic strangeness S = +1 baryon state at 1.54 GeV will trigger an intensified search for this and other baryons with exotic quantum numbers. This state was predicted long ago in topological soliton models. We use this approach together with the new datum in order to investigate its implications for the baryon spectrum. In particular we estimate the positions of othe...
