Abstract

A search for the Θ+ pentaquark in the K + pπ + X reaction was performed utilizing a high-resolution spectrometer at the K6 beam line of the KEK 12GeV Proton Synchrotron. Incident K + beams of 1.2 GeV/c were irradiated to a liquid hydrogen target. No significant evidence of the Θ+ was found. The upper limit of the differential cross section averaged over 2° to 20° in the laboratory frame for the K + pπ +Θ+ reaction was obtained to be 1.9 μb/sr at 90 % confidence level. From the present result, the t-channel process is excluded or the coupling constant gK*NΘ is quite small.
