We find no evidence for these states and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the number of Θ ( 1540 ) + and Ξ 5 ( 1860 ) −− pentaquarks produced per e + e − annihilation into q ¯ q and per Υ ( 4 S ) decay. For q ¯ q events the Θ ( 1540 ) + [ Ξ 5 ( 1860 ) −− ] limit is about 8 [4] times lower than the rates measured for ordinary baryons of similar mass.7 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2005Física de partículesExperimentsParticle physicsExperimentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article5390872019-09-20info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
