First observation of and search for exotic baryons in systems
Abstract
The process and its intermediate processes are measured for the first time using a data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy collider. The production of and a signal in the ( ) invariant mass spectrum are clearly observed. However, no evidence for an exotic baryon near , denoted as ( ) or ( ), is seen in the ( ) or ( ) invariant mass spectra. Cross sections for , and the products and are measured. We also determine upper limits on the products of the and two-photon decay widths and their branching fractions to at the 90% credibility level.
