The CLAS Collaboration provides a comment on the physics interpretation of results presented in paper published by M. Amaryan et al. regarding possible observation narrow structure mass spectrum photoproduction experiment.
In Ref. [1], the authors claim to observe a narrow structure in mass spectrum constructed from (pK_L) system using data CLAS detector. The interpretation of this structure given in [1] is as follows: “It may be due photoproduction Theta+ pentaquark or some unknown Sigma∗ resonance.” go on say that “it unlikely for observed This analysis was reviewed by Collaboration, following established procedures all papers, and did not receive approval. purpose Comment explain reasons why approved...
