We have analyzed data of the DISTO experiment on the exclusive pp ! K+p process at Tp = 2.85 GeV to search for a K−pp ( X) nuclear bound state to be formed in the pp ! K+ + X reaction. The deviation spectra of the K+ missing-mass M(K+) and p invariant-mass M(p) with selection of large-angle proton emission revealed a structure with MX = 2265 ± 2 MeV/c2 and X = 118 ± 8 MeV.

First exclusive measurements of the K- pp state populated in the pp ---> K+ Lambda p reaction at 2.85-GeV

Abstract

We have analyzed data of the DISTO experiment on the exclusive pp ! K+p process at Tp = 2.85 GeV to search for a K−pp ( X) nuclear bound state to be formed in the pp ! K+ + X reaction. The deviation spectra of the K+ missing-mass M(K+) and p invariant-mass M(p) with selection of large-angle proton emission revealed a structure with MX = 2265 ± 2 MeV/c2 and X = 118 ± 8 MeV.
