The preliminary result from spectra of $K^0_s π^-$ in reaction p+propane at 10 GeV/c

Abstract

The experimental data from 2m propane bubble chamber have been analyzed to search for scalar meson $κ(800)$ in a $K^0_sπ$ decay mode for the reaction p+$C_3H_8$ at 10 GeV/c. The $K^0_sπ^-$ invariant mass spectrum has shown resonant structures with $M_{K^0_sπ^-}$=730, 900 and $Γ$=143, 48 MeV/$c^2$, respectively. The statistical significance are estimated to be of 14.2$σ$ and 4.2$σ$, respectively. The peak in M(900) is identified as reflection from the well known resonance with mass of 892 MeV/c$^2$.
