| Title: | Formation process of Theta+ in inclusive gamma D --> pK^-X reactions |
| Abstract: | We analyze the possibility to produce an intermediate Theta+ via a K+N->Theta+ formation process in gamma D->pK^-X (X=nK+,pK0) reactions at some specific kinematical conditions, in which a pK- pair is knocked out in the forward direction and its invariant mass is close to the mass of Lambda(1520). The Theta+ signal may appear in the [gamma D, pK-] missing mass distribution. The ratio of the signal (cross section at Theta+ peak position) to smooth background processes varies from 0.7 to 2.4 depending on the spin and parity of Theta+, and it decreases correspondingly if the pK- invariant mass is outside the Lambda(1520)-resonance region. We analyze the recent CLAS result for searching the Theta+ signal in the gamma D-> pK-nK+ reaction and show that the conditions of this experiment greatly reduce a possible manifestation of the Theta+ formation processes making difficult to extract a Theta+ peak from data. |
