Exotic Cascades at NA49 Krešo Kadija Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb,Croatia

2 Outline NA49 experimental results Exotics - status Current efforts
To do list 1

3 NA49 Experiment VTPC-1 (VTPC-2+MTPC) dE/dx resolution: 3-6 %
dp/p2 = 7 x (0.3) (GeV/c)-1 dE/dx resolution: 3-6 % (sTrig= 28.1 mb)

4 Data Sample p+p at = 17.2 GeV Before vertex cut After Vertex Cut
M M M M M M Total M M Main vertex cuts: 1.) fit converged 2.) x2+y2< 1 cm2 3.) cm < z < cm i.e. within target

5 X5 search X- selection: L Distance to Bethe- Bloch curve:
|dbb| < 3 s |M(pp-) - M(L)| < GeV Z X- Zmain_vtx > 12 cm X - position at main vertex (bx , by): |bx| < 2 cm |by| < 1 cm p (from X - decay) position at main vertex |by| > 0.5 cm L z x y X - bx by MV

6 V0 and X Invariant Mass Spectra
X- peak 1640 events L peak |M(Lp)-M(X)| < GeV X+ peak L peak 551 events

7 Primary pion selection
|dbb| < 1.5 s, dbb .... distance to Bethe-Bloch curve position at main vertex (bx , by): |bx| < 1.0 cm |by| < 0.5 cm # of points > 10 p

8 Additional cuts cos(q) < 0.997 (q > 4.5) X- X+
Background Signal q: angle between X i p p- X- q X X+ p s < dbb < 1.5s s < dbb < 1.5 s p s < dbb < 1.5s s < dbb < 1.5 s p > 3 GeV/c p > 3 GeV/c

9 Final Xp Invariant Mass Distributions
Baryon spectra: peak at GeV Antibaryon spectra: enhancement at the same mass C. Alt et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92

10 Summed spectra M = ± GeV/c2 G ≤ 18 MeV/c2

11 Systematics study I Remove resonances:
events with p- K- p p+ 497.6 ±10 769.0 ±60 892.0 ±30 ±10 K+ ±10 ±15 By changing: - mass cuts around X and L - dE/dx cut - number of points cut - bx, by cuts - e.t.c. Peak remains robust !

12 Systematics study II X-p (VENUS + GEANT + REC.)
p: all negative particles p : true negative pions DATA ( X shoulders) No structure at 1.86 GeV

13 Systematic study III – mass cut

16 Current efforts Levenberg-Marquardt fitting procedure
Use a consistent (debuged) code for all data ! New V0 and X finder ! Improved main vertex determination ! Exclude V0 and X tracks from fit Use higher quality tracks Use a consistent (debuged) code for all data ! New V0 and X finder ! Further improvement of experimental resolution Residual corrections Improve detector alignment (VT1,VT2,MTPC) And with a new procedure (and 30% more data) …….. Levenberg-Marquardt fitting procedure 9 parameter fit(V0) 4 parameter fit 13 parameter fit(X)
