Abstract

A high-resolution (sigmainstr. = 1.5 MeV) search for narrow states (Gamma < 10 MeV) with masses of Mx approx 1500-1850 MeV in ep -> e'K+ X, e'K- X and e' pi+ X electroproduction at small angles and low Q2 was performed. These states would be candidate partner states of the reported Theta+(1540) pentaquark. No statistically significant signal was observed in any of the channels at 90% C.L. Upper limits on forward production were determined to be between 0.7% and 4.2% of the Lambda(1520) production cross section, depending on the channel and the assumed mass and width of the state.
