A search for pentaquarks decaying to Ξ−π− (Ξ−π+) and corresponding antiparticles has been performed with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The data sample consists of deep inelastic ep scattering events at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV, and corresponds to 121 pb−1 of integrated luminosity. A clear signal for Ξ0(1530)→Ξ−π+ was observed. However, no signal for any new baryonic state was observed at higher masses in either the Ξ−π− or Ξ−π+ channels. The searches in the antiparticle channels were also negative.

Abstract
A search for pentaquarks decaying to Ξ−π− (Ξ−π+) and corresponding antiparticles has been performed with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The data sample consists of deep inelastic ep scattering events at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV, and corresponds to 121 pb−1 of integrated luminosity. A clear signal for Ξ0(1530)→Ξ−π+ was observed. However, no signal for any new baryonic state was observed at higher masses in either the Ξ−π− or Ξ−π+ channels. The searches in the antiparticle channels were also negative.File in questo prodotto:
