resonances in neutrino interactions
We consider data from series of neutrino experiments with two big bubble chambers:
Fermilab 15’ and CERN BEBC. These were close to each other in geometry, fiducial volume and operation conditions. Data were collected and processed using very similar techniques and algorithms. It allowed us to merge these data in one big set.

Neutrino interactions were recorded in wide band
neutrino beams of :Fermilab 400 GeV accelerator (E180) and
800 GeV Tevatron (E632) with Neon-Hydrogen fill of 15’ BC
andCERN 450 GeV accelerator
with Hydrogen (WA21), Deuterium (WA25) and Neon (WA59) fills of BEBC.

These experimental data compiled by A. Asratyan (ITEP) comprise some 120000 (Anti)neutrino charge current
(CC) events*: νμ (νμ) + A → μ- (μ+) +X.
Neutral current events: νμ(νμ)+A→ νμ(νμ) +X are not
included (not measured systematically).
Even after several decades the bubble chamber neutrino data are still unrivaled in quality and completeness of physics information.*Unfortunately Fermilab E53 data are not included (61800 CC νμ Ne events)

combined with the random star background:26 events with ~8 events of the background;significance of 6.7 σ.The same distribution with bins shifted by 5Mev is fitted to get mass and width of the peak.Width of the peak is compatible with instrumental resolution.

We expand the proton sample for a new study:
First step, use events with ALL identified protons (no 400<P<900 MeV/c requirement).
However, we keep only events with any ADDITIONAL proton of momentum below 400 MeV/c to avoid events
of hard nucleon re-scattering and break-up.
Second step , use other positive particles and assign proton mass.

Close look at the K0Sp system

Dotted histogram depicts the “random star” background. Light shaded events with additional K0

dark-shaded ones are with additional Λ0.
Associated Λ0 events suggest positive strangeness of observed K0
Sp states.

Further probing negative strangeness states:

seen in ν and Σ*-(1385) in ν.
Note: branching of the

about 40 times lower that to Λ0π+

We make following observations for K0Sp resonances:
•no strangeness directly determined for K0S
• excess of associated Λ0 in these events;
•Known Σ* states in this region follow the charge of the current: in ν beam produced Σ*+ , in ν – Σ*-;
Σ*+(1583) can not produce second peak in K0Sp
•At the same time relative number of the peak K0Sp events is about
to be proportional to number of all CC events in the ν and ν samples.
The Σ*+ hypothesis for these three observed states is not supported

K0Sp
resonances in neutrino interactions PRELIMINARY:
In the expanded sample of (anti)neutrino events with identified and assigned protons three baryon resonance’s with masses of 1531 ± 2, 1577 ± 3 and 1659 ± 5 MeV
are observed in invariant mass K0S p system formed in
(anti)neutrino interactions with Neon and Deuterium. Width of 1531 and 1577 Mev resonance’s is less than 17
MeV(experimental resolution).1659 Mev state may have intrinsic width of 20-30 MeV.
The Σ*+ hypothesis for these three observed states is disfavored.
Estimated signal significance (S/sqrt(B)) of 9.3, 7.0 and 5.0 σ .
These states are tentatively interpreted as the known pentaquark Θ+ (1530) and (yet unknown) spin/isospin
partners thereof.

Exotic baryon resonance Θ+(1540) is observed in several (>13) experiments with very narrow width (< 9 MeV/c2), re-analysis of kaon experiments gives width ~1 MeV.
The state has pentaquark structure (UUDDS) and is a possible member of an anti-decuplet
Isospin 0 is supported experimentally. Other numbers are unknown (some theorists like parity and spin +1/2) Possible other members of the anti-decuplet Ξ– – and Ξ0
are observed by NA49 experiment but no other experiment yet confirmed it!

Summary and Outlook(cont.)
New anti-charmed pentaquark state is reported by H1.
Strong experimental confirmation by at least one single very high statistics experiment is still required (several experiments do not see the signal)
Several dedicated experiments are in progress now!
Search for other new members of the pentaquark exotic family is on (see following presentation)
