  3. Q+(Z+) Baryon Q+(1530) D. Diakonov, V. Petrov, and M. Polyakov, Z. Phys. A 359 (1997) 305. • Exotic: S=+1 • Low mass: 1530 MeV • Narrow width: < 15 MeV • Jp=1/2+ M = [1890-180*Y] MeV

  4. Exotic S=+1 Baryon • NOTE ON THE S = + 1 BARYON SYSTEM • (PDG 1986; Phys. Lett. B170, 289) • The evidence for strangeness +1 baryon resonances was reviewed in our 1976 edition,1 and more recently by Kelly2 and by Oades.3 Two new partial-wave anaIyses4 have appeared since our 1984 edition. Both claim that the P13 and perhaps other waves resonate. • However, the results permit no definite conclusion- the same story heard for 15 years. The standards of proof must simply be much more severe here than in a channel in which many resonances are already known to exist. The general prejudice against baryons not made of three quarks and the lack of any experimental activity in this areamake it likely that it will be another 15 years before the issue is decided. • References • 1.

  6. Laser Electron Photon facility at SPring-8 in operation since 2000 g

  7. Energy Spectrum 2.4 GeV 8 GeV Intensity (Typ.) : ~3 * 106 photons/sec 5

  8. g LEPS detector TOF wall Aerogel Cerenkov (n=1.03) Dipole Magnet (0.7 T) Start counter Liquid Hydrogen Target (50mm thick) MWDC 3 Silicon Vertex Detector MWDC 2 MWDC 1 1m

  9. LH2 Target Start Counter Drift Chamber g SSD Cerenkov Detector

  10. K/p separation (positive charge) Reconstructed mass p- p+ p+ p K+ K+ Events d Momentum (GeV) K- Mass(GeV) Mass/Charge (GeV) Charged particle identification s(mass) = 30 MeV(typ.) for 1 GeV/c Kaon

  11. 30 Hz for 800 kHz@tagger Charge veto AC(n=1.03) Target(LH2) Start counter (SC) Summary of data taking • Total number of trigger • 1.83*108 trigger • Dec, 2000 to Jun, 2001 • Number of events with reconstructed charged tracks 4.37*107 events • About a half of events were produced in SC Optimized for g p  f p  K+ K- p Small distance between LH2 and SC High index of AC g p  K0Q+  p+p- K+ n

  12. Non-resonant KK L(1520) Q+? Identification of Q+ • Problems: • no neutron target • CH start counter • (n is part of C!) • “background” • fK+K- • (produced from n & p) g n → K-Q+ → K- K+ n • K- missing mass gives Q+ mass • K+K- missing mass gives n

  13. Fermi motion correction Test-case: g n → K+ S-→K+ p- n g p → K+ L→K+ p- p L S- K+p-missing mass Correction works better when longitudinal Fermi momentumis small. K+missing mass K+missing mass (corrected) Start counter (CH) L LH2 target K+missing mass K+missing mass (corrected) Correction: MMgK+ (corrected)= MMgK+- MMgK+p-+ Mn

  14. Proton-recoil cut • gnK+K-n no recoil proton(proton is a spectator) • gpK+K-p slow recoil proton is present • proton is too slow to be seen in full detector, but might be seen in SSD vertex detector. tof dc dc dc ssd K+ g target (SC) K- p dipole Remove all events for which proton is detected in SSD, or for which predicted nucleon track does not hit SSD.

  15. Effectiveness of proton recoil cut g p(n)K+K-p(n) MMcgK+ = MMgK+- MMgK+K-+ Mn • select KK events from start counter • construct K+ missing mass (corrected) plot • apply p-recoil cut • reverse p-recoil cut • （proton is present) gp L(1520)K+ K-p No L(1520) peak in events with a spectator proton. The cut enhances g nK+K-n

  16. Background? n(g,K-) missing mass g n → K-Q+ → K- K+ n Q+ • select KK events from SC • apply KK invariant mass cut (f) • apply KK missing mass cut (0.9<MMkk<0.98) • apply proton recoil cut • construct K- missing mass plot • Backgroundshape can be determined from events from LH2 target using the same cuts except for: • Proton-recoil cut is removed • L(1520) events are removed • (only from p)

  17. Q+ identification M = 1.540.01 MeV G < 25 MeV Gaussian significance 4.6s • Background level is estimated by a fit in a mass region above 1.59 GeV. • Assumption: • Background is from non-resonant K+K- production off the neutron/nucleus • … is nearly identical to non-resonant K+K- production off the proton background Phys.Rev.Lett. 91 (2003) 012002 hep-ex/0301020

  18. Confirmation from other labs DIANA/ITEP CLAS/JLAB g d → p K+ K-n K+Xe → K0p X (K+n→ K0p) M = 15392 MeV G < 9 MeV M = 15425 MeV G < 21 MeV hep-ex/0304040 hep-ex/0307018

  19. Mysteries • Why is it so light? • Why is the width so narrow? • Pentaquark or KN molecule? • Excited S=+1 states? • Is this really an I=0, Jp=1/2+ state?

  20. Theoretical activities • Exotic baryon states in topological soliton models Walliser, H ; Kopeliovich, V B, hep-ph/0304058 • Interpretation of the Theta+ as an isotensor resonance with weakly decaying partners Capstick, Page, Roberts, hep-ph/0307019 • Stable $uudd\bar s$ pentaquarks in the constituent quark model Stancu, Fl ; Riska, D O, hep-ph/0307010 • The Constituent Quark Model Revisited - Quark Masses, New Predictions for Hadron Masses and KN Pentaquark Karliner, Marek; Lipkin, Harry J, hep-ph/0307243 • Pentaquark states in a chiral potential Hosaka, Atsushi hep-ph/0307232 • Group theory and the Pentaquark Wybourne, B G, hep-ph/0307170 • Diquarks and Exotic Spectroscopy Jaffe, R L ; Wilczek, F, hep-ph/0307341 • Understanding Pentaquark States in QCD Zhu, Shi-Lin, hep-ph/0307345 • The anticharmed exotic baryon Theta_c and its relatives Karliner, Marek; Lipkin, Harry J hep-ph/0307343 • Determining the $\Theta^+$ quantum numbers through the $K^+p\to \pi^+K^+n$ reaction Hyodo, T ; Hosaka, A ; Oset, E nucl-th/0307105

  21. g K* K*(1430) and/or K0 Q+ p Very recent results with proton target M = 154042 MeV G < 25 MeV M = 153710 MeV G < 32 MeV CLAS/Jlab hep-ex/0307088 SAPHIR/ELSA hep-ex/0307083 Require cos qK > 0.5 *

  24. To determine Spin and Parity • Polarize Q+ and measure the K+ direction and the neutron spin. • Double or triple polarization experiment? Polarized target

  25. Other Exotics Searches • f meson photoproduction w/ linearly polarized g 2nd Pomeron / Glueball exchange? • L(1405) production w/ linearly polarized g hybrid? • gA p0p0A , s meson search

  26. f photoproduction near threshold Titov, Lee, Toki Phys.Rev C59(1999) 2993 (q=0 degree) Natural parity exchange Unnatural parity exchange Data from: SLAC('73), Bonn(’74),DESY(’78) P2: 2ndpomeron ~ 0+glueball (Nakano, Toki (1998)) Important to distinguish natural parity exchanges from unnatural ones

  27. f photoproduction with linearly polarized photon -0.2< t < |t|min GeV2 , 2.2 < Eg < 2.4 GeV w/o Acceptance Correction Raw data Number of event Helicity conserving amplitudes are dominant. cos(qK+) Horizontally polarized beam Vertically polarized beam Raw data Number of event Major contribution from natural-parity exchange fK+ - Fpol(degree)

  29. Conclusion & Outlook • Observation of Narrow Peak in Missing Mass of g n → K- X. • Evidence for Narrow S=+1 baryon at LEPS at 1.54 GeV with a narrow width. • Confirmation from other facilities (CLAS(d)/Jlab, DIANA/ITEP,CLAS(p)/Jlab, SAPHIR/ELSA). • Narrow S=+1 baryon state at 1.54 GeV is well established. • Further data taking with LD2 target finished at LEPS and scheduled at CLAS. • Next things to do. • Determination of Spin and Parity. Is this really Q+? • Other pentaquark resonances ? (S=+1 or not) • More theoretical works including lattice are needed.

  30. Conclusion & Outlook (cont.) • f data favors soft Pomeron contribution • For further experimental study • p0p0 run will start tomorrow • 4p Coverage .  A new TPC (Readout system will be ready in a few month.) • Photon energy upgrade (Max. 3 GeV) to study Q (and L(1405)) in K*(892) photo-production. (Use linearly polarized photons as a parity filter.) • Measurement of a recoiled nucleon polarization OR a Polarized target. (Technically the latter is easier.)
