Conclusion I • A strong evidence for existence of a narrow - -resonance at M = 1.862 ± 0.002 GeV/c2 ( ≤ 18 MeV/c2) is observed • At the same mass a peak is observed in the-+ spectrum • The corresponding antibaryon spectra show enhancement at the same mass 0 0 X3/2 - - X3/2 X1/2
Conclusion II • Some evidence for existence of a narrow (1530)0 p-resonance at M = 1.855 ± 0.003 GeV/c2 is observed • There is no indication for X(1530)0p+ resonance 0 0 - X3/2 - - X3/2 X1/2 X1/2
Outlook Open Questions • Spin is unknown • Parity is unknown • Width ? • Isospin? NA49 • Further improvement of experimental resolution • Search forSs0(-) X- K+ (X- KS) o NA49’ Project (Expression of Interest CERN-SPSC-2003-038) In particular : • (3-6) • 107 p+p events (new DAQ system) • Neutral pions
