  16. What will we do next…? １．Charmed Pentaquark ２．Charmed Hyper Nuclei

  17. Charmed Pentaquark Search

  18. Θc Production from ν （Lepton)+ ν W－ d c d d d d u u u u Θｃ proton

  19. Weak Weak Strong Strong Theoretical Overview Θ0c（uuddc)Mass prediction Ｉｆ Θc mass is bellow DN threshold (2807MeV) Θc can decay “Weakly” →lifetime ofΘccan be expected to be in the range of other charm hadrons.

  20. Experimental Evidence at H1 • Only one evidence by H1 Collaboration: m=3099 MeV can be considered as pD* state hep-ex/0403017 • Θc(3099) can be considered as an excited state (chiral partner) of the predicted ground pentaquark state Θc(2710)M. Nowak et al, hep-ph/0403184

  21. Possible decay Mode of Θ0c Θ0c　 →　 Ｄ＊－　Ｐ　 　　　　 →　 Ｄ＊0ｎ　 　　　　 →　 Ｄ－ Ｐ　　　　 　　 　 →　 Ｄ 0 ｎ　 Above threshold Strong Decay Θ0c→　 θ＋（Lepton)－ν 　　　　 →　 θ＋π－ 　　　　 →　 Ｐ π－Ｋｓ０ 　　 　 →　 Ｐ Ｋ＋π－π－( golden topology) 　　　　　　　　　　　： 　　　　　　　　　　　： Below threshold Ｗｅａｋ Decay

  22. Background of Θｃ Main background in emulsion are D0 , K0and Λ0 decay. And neutron , K0 and Λ0 interaction without any visible nuclear breakup at the interaction point.

  23. Proton ID is the key to distinguish Θ0c and D0!! How to Detect and Identify ? Proton Identification to eliminate D0 B.G. D0 →K －π+ (2-prongs) 　　　　 →　 K0π+π－(2-prongs) 　　　 　→　 K－π+π+π－(4-prongs) : : cτ=123μm Any way , no proton in daughters.

  24. ..….. Proton ID by dE/dX and P.H. 1.2GeV/cπ 1.2Gev/c P Test experiment@KEK T.Toshito et al. N.I.M A516(2004)436-439

  25. π μ K P dE/dX VS Momentum(GeV/c) separatable region

  26. How to Detect and Identify ? Topological analysis to eliminate Λ0 B.G. Λ0 decay mode Λ0　→　Ｐ π－2-prongs （63.9％） 　→　ｎ π0all neutral （35.8％） cτ=7.89cm 2-prongs only ( also Ks0 ). 4-prongs decay is only for D0,Θ0c.

  27. summary of Identification  If 4-prongs decay have proton daughter, it could be Θ0c !!

  28. So far… We have already found 6 , 4-prongs decay , in 2,704 νμ int.

  29. estimation of lifetime D0 Momentum[GeV/c] P[GeV/c] = 1.5 × λｰ1 λ　＝　＜θdecay＞ D0 MC simulation θdecay measured in emulsion <θdecay> momentum → gamma factor → estimated “cτ”

  30. Estimated cτ for 4-prongs decay data MC About cτ, these 6 events are very D0 like. Estimated cτ[μm] cτ（D0）123μm

  31. How to Detect and Identify ? Θ0c search Long flight length decay search 3mm 1.5mm 3mm 1.5mm 6.4mm 10mm So far Θ0c may have long lifetime This range is never searched before!!

  32. Near Future plan… • Long Flight Length decay search (Now just started) • Proton ID Research & Development A little bit far Future plan…? • New experiments to search Pentaquark

  33. Charmed Hyper Nuclei Search

  34. P n n P n νμ created μ－and hadrons and charm hadron P P n P n n n μ－ n P n P P νμ hadron Charm hadron interacts with nuclei and Λ+ｃis absorbed Decay Roughly drawing of charmed hyper-nuclei production

  35. How does it look? Decay point F.L. is a few microns s=1 hyper fragment decay observed in CHORUS emulsion M.Miyanishi et al. CERN-PH-EP/2005-017

  36. How to identify a “charmed” • Energy release is bigger than “stranged”. → Stranged Hyper-Nuclei can’t exceed 200 MeV. 2. Charmed Hyper-Nuclei can have s=1 particle as a daughter. → K/π/P separation by dE/dX

  37. So far… Searched in 22,200 νμ interactions. No candidate ε（ＣＣ）/ε（ＨＦ）　＝　０．８７±０．１０ Upper limit of production rate by 27GeV νμ (90%CL) M.Miyanishi et al. CERN-PH-EP/2005-017 further search will be done…

  38. Summary • Emulsion can give the “first direct observation” of pentaquark , and charmed hyper nuclei. • We have already had several thousands of νμinteractions , and analysis is going on. • For charmed hyper nuclei , 22,200 νμ interactions have been analyzed and no candidate have been found. Further search will be done…
