Upper limits on the production rate of the decuplet baryons Δ andΣ* ine + e − annihilation at 34.4 GeV

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Samples of ∼1,900 identified protons and ∼500 Λ have been used to search for decuplet baryon production ine + e − annihilation at a c.m. energy of 34.4 GeV. Thep π+ and Λ π± invariant mass spectra contain no Δ orΣ* signals. Upper limits, at 95% confidence level, are that less than 12% of allp and less than 26% of all Λ come from the decay of doubly charged Δ and singly chargedΣ* states respectively. These limits correspond to production rates of <0.10Δ ++ and <0.09Σ*± per event (inclusive of anti-particles). Production of the decuplet statesΔ ++ andΣ*± is suppressed by a factor ≳9 relative to octet baryons of the same strangeness.
