Sv. Golovkin et al., STUDY OF COHERENT DIFFRACTIVE PRODUCTION REACTIONS OF P-][Y(0)K(+)]+CTYPE AND OBSERVATION OF NARROW STRUCTURES IN SIGMA(1385)K-O(+) AND SIGMA-K-O(+) EFFECTIVE-MASS SPECTRA(C), Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 68(4), 1995, pp. 585-594
In the experiments at the SPHINX facility in 70 GeV proton beam of the
IHEP accelerator the coherent diffractive production reactions on car
bon nuclei p + C --> [Sigma(1385)K-o(+)] + C and p + C --> [Sigma(o)K(
+)] + C were investigated. The evidences for new baryon states were ob
tained in the study of hyperon-kaon effective mass spectra in these tw
o reactions: X(2050) with mass M = (2052 +/- 6) MeV and width Gamma =
(35 (+22)(-35)) MeV in M[Sigma(1385)K-o(+)] and X(2000) with M = 1999
+/- 6 MeV and Gamma = 91 +/- 17 MeV in M[Sigma(o)K(+)]. The unusual fe
atures of these massive states (small enough decay widths, anomalously
large branching ratios for decays with strange particles-emission) ma
ke them very serious candidates for cryptoexotic pentaquark baryons wi
th hidden strangeness.
