Search for strange-pentaquark production in e+e− annihilation at √s=10.58 GeV

Search for strange-pentaquark production in e+e− annihilation at √s=10.58 GeV

We search for strange pentaquark states that have been previously reported by other experiments -- the Θ(1540)+, Ξ5(1860)−−, and Ξ5(1860)0 -- in 123 fb−1 of data recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e− storage ring. We find no evidence for these states and set 95% confidence level upper...

Zusammenfassung:We search for strange pentaquark states that have been previously reported by other experiments -- the Θ(1540)+, Ξ5(1860)−−, and Ξ5(1860)0 -- in 123 fb−1 of data recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e− storage ring. We find no evidence for these states and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the number of Θ(1540)+ and Ξ5(1860)−− pentaquarks produced per e+e− annihilation event that are about eight and four times lower than the rates measured for ordinary baryons of similar mass.
