SEARCH FOR EXOTIC-BARYONS WITH THE SPHINX FACILITY

In the experiments at the SPHINX facility in the proton beam of the IH EP accelerator (E(p) = 70 GeV) a number of diffractive production reac tions were studied. Among them are p + N --> (K+ K- p) + N, p + N --> (phi p) + N, p + N -->, -->[Lambda(1520) K+] + N, p + N --> [Sigma(138 5)(0) K+] + N, as well as some other processes. The results of the sea rch for narrow heavy-baryon states, candidates for the cryptoexotic ha drons with hidden strangeness, are presented.
