摘要
We have searched for evidence of the production and decay of a neutral bound-state pentaquark, one of a predicted doublet of states: P-(c over bar s)(0) = \(c) over bar suud] and P-(c over bar s)(-) = \(c) over bar sddu]. Specifically, we have searched for the decay P-(c over bar s)(0) --> K *K-0(-) p in data from Fermilab experiment E791, in which a 500 GeV/c pi(-) beam interacted with nuclear targets. We find mass-dependent upper limits at the 90% confidence level for the ratio of cross section times branching fraction of this decay relative to that for the decay D-s(-) --> K *K-0(-). The upper limits vary between 0.016 and 0.036 for M(P-(c over bar s)(0)) between 2.75 and 2.91 GeV/c(2), assuming a pentaquark lifetime of 0.4 ps. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
