Angular distribution and azimuthal asymmetry for pentaquark production in proton-proton collisions


Angular distribution and azimuthal asymmetry for pentaquark production in proton-proton collisions

Barz, H.-W.; Zetenyi, M.

Angular distributions for production of the Theta+ pentaquark are calculated for the collisions of polarized protons with polarized target protons. We compare calculations based on different assumptions concerning spin and parity (J=1/2+/-,3/2+/-) of the Theta+ state.
For a wide class of interactions the spin correlation parameters describing the asymmetric angular distributions are calculated up to 250 MeV above production threshold. The deviations from the near threshold behavior are investigated.
