Weilin Yu QCD和轻强子暑期班 Weilin Yu QCD和轻强子暑期班 * The Pentaquark Q+ Search At Hermes Weilin Yu (Peking University) for Hermes Collaboration Outline Particle Identification Search For pKS Resonance Systematic Studies Summary and Conclusions The HERMES Experiment The HERMES Spectrometer Beam: 27.6 GeV e+/e- from HERA accelerator Track reconstruction: Dp/p 2%, Dq 0.6 mrad Particle ID: TRD, Preshower, Calorimeter (hadron/lepton sep.) dual radiator RICH (p, K, p separation) Particle Identification hadron/positron separation combining signals from: TRD, calorimeter, preshower, RICH hadron separation Dual radiator RICH for p, K, p Decay Mode: Q+ ? Ks p or K+n Composed of 4 quarks and one antiquarks . Has strangeness S=+1 . Allowed by the Standard Quark Model. What is a Pentaquark Q+ Define appropriate event topology Hadron identification: RICH p: 1 - 15 GeV p: 4 – 9 GeV Lambda is well identified  ? protons are cleanly identified Reject events from L(1116) ? pp-  within ±2s of ML invariant mass calibration ±1.9MeV direct reconstruction: detection of each decay particle, invariant mass reconstruction Event Reconstruction Identification after all cuts Results Unbinned fit is used: result independent of bin size and starting point Peak at: M= 1528 ± 2.6 MeV = 8 ± 2 MeV Significance: 3.7 The Signal and its Background Peak at: 1527 ± 2.3 MeV = 9.2 ± 2 MeV Significance: 4.3 PYTHIA6 mixed event background Known S*s (excluded in Pythia6) Observed width FWHM: 19 – 24 MeV  Detector resolution (from MC) FWHM: 10 – 14.6 MeV re-fit spectra with Breit-Wigner convoluted with a Gaussian (fixed by MC)  HERMES intrinsic width: Γ = 17 ± 9 ± 3 MeV A Non-Zero Width for Q+? Well established L(1520) ? pK- with acceptance:1.5% No peak structure for Q++ ? pK+ zero counts at 91% CL
