Search for the pentaquark candidate Θ ( 1540 ) + in the hyperon beam experiment WA89

We report on a high-statistics search for the \t1540 resonance in $\Sigma^-$-nucleus collisions at 340 \gevc1 . No evidence for this resonance was found in our data sample which contains 13 millions $K^0_s \to \pi^+\pi^- $ decays above background. For the decay channel $\Theta^+ \to K^0_s p$ and the...

Zusammenfassung:	We report on a high-statistics search for the \t1540 resonance in $\Sigma^-$-nucleus collisions at 340 \gevc1 . No evidence for this resonance was found in our data sample which contains 13 millions $K^0_s \to \pi^+\pi^- $ decays above background. For the decay channel $\Theta^+ \to K^0_s p$ and the kinematic range $x_F>$ 0.05 we find the production cross section to be $BR(\Theta^+ \to K^0_s p)\cdot \sigma_0
