Bm. Abramov et al., RESULTS OF SEARCH FOR NARROW DIPROTON STRUCTURES IN THE PN-]PP-PI(-) REACTION AT 1.98 GEV C/, Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 69(3), 1996, pp. 409-413
The effective mass spectrum of two protons from the reaction p + n -->
pp + pi(-)(backward) was investigated. The work was carried out at IT
EP using a 3-meter magnet spectrometer and a proton beam of 1.98 GeV/c
momentum. Liquid deuterium was used as a target. The presented mass s
pectrum includes about 34000 events. No statistically significant sign
als from narrow dibaryons were found in the mass reg;ion 1.89 - 2.17 G
eV/c(2); the upper limits on narrow dibaryon production cross-section
are given. At a mass of 1.8775 GeV/c(2) a narrow enhancement was found
. A more detailed investigation of the observed phenomenon is needed.
