The gamman-->K(+)K(-)n reaction on 12C has been studied by measuring both K+ and K- at forward angles. A sharp baryon resonance peak was observed 1.54+/-0.01 GeV/c(2) with a width smaller than 25 MeV/c(2) Gaussian significance of 4.6sigma. strangeness quantum number (S) the is +1. It can be interpreted as molecular meson-baryon or alternatively an exotic five-quark state (uuddsmacr;) that decays into neutron. consistent lowest member antidecuplet baryons predicted chiral soliton model.

ABSTRACT In the late stages of nuclear burning for massive stars ( M > 8 ⊙ ), production neutrino–antineutrino pairs through various processes becomes dominant stellar cooling mechanism. As star evolves, energy these neutrinos increases and in days preceding supernova a significant fraction emitted electron anti-neutrinos exceeds threshold inverse beta decay on free hydrogen. This is golden channel liquid scintillator detectors because coincidence signature allows reductions background...
