Jaffe, PRL 38 (1977) 195 K- +d reaction: the search for dibaryonsvia Λp correlations (1963-1985) Prediction of strange partner of the deuteron {10} (1963) and octet of dibaryons (1977): both cases assume H1+(Λp) Experiments show an excess at 2.13 GeV/c2. The major source of background proposed is ΣN interactions, H1+ not yet discovered.

With Heavy Ion Collisions A. Andronic et al., NPA 765 (2006) 211 Thermal model predicts a high production yield of anti-kaonic clusters in heavy ions collisions at SIS energies. Σ* • Λp correlations status: • Mass position unknown (M= 2.13, 2.25 GeV/c2) • Width unknown (Γ=17, 67 MeV) • Evaluation of the background complex • Need a reference analysis of ΛX correlations • Measurement of Σ(1385): • Known resonance: M=1.385 GeV/c2, Γ=40 MeV, Λπ at 88% • Σ(1385) measured by STAR in heavy-ion collisions • Therm. model predicts similar Σ* and cluster yields at SIS energies (P(Σ*/Λ)~10-2) SIS
FOPI Detector at GSI • Angular coverage close to 4π • Identification of fragments (1 < Z < 12) • Identification of p, d, t, 3He, 4He, , K • Reconstruction of resonances (, K0, , ) • High statistic experiments performed • to study strangeness production: • Ni+Ni at 1.9 AGeV, 120 ·106 events (2003) • Al+Al at 1.9 AGeV, 400 ·106 events (2005) Λ

Λp Invariant mass spectra from Ni+Ni collisions at 1.9 AGeV Λp in Ni+Ni • Excess found at 2.13 GeV/c2 • At limit of the significance • Structure present also in Al+Al collisions in the same mass region • Effect visible by a complete independent analyses → check of BKG construction (mixed event) in progress PRELIMINARY FINUDA • Excess at 2.13 GeV/c2: • Final state interaction (ΣN), dibaryons H1+(2113) ? • Flat distribution in [2.2;2.4] GeV/c2→ no evidence of the FINUDA structure

Conclusions / Outlook FOPI detector can identify wide and rare signals (Γ~40 MeV, P~10-3) • Evidence for signal of Σ*(1385) at SIS energies: (i) First sub-threshold measurement (second in HIC) (ii) Comparison to transport models calculations in progress • Λp correlations: (i) Excess found at 2.13 GeV/c2 from 2 different samples of data (ii) "Signal" located in the spectator region (iii) No evidence for FINUDA structure [2.2;2.3] GeV/c2 (iv) Cross check of independent analyses in progress • Ongoing analyses and experiment with FOPI: Other correlations are being analyzed: Λd, 3Heπ- , ...
