Abstract
One of the main sources of the information about nuclear resonances are partial wave analyses (PWA) of pion-proton elastic scattering. Nearly all of the data available for PWA were obtained more than 20 years ago with old measurement techniques. The talk presents new high precision data obtained recently by the EPECUR collaboration. The experiment features high statistics and better than 1 MeV resolution in the invariant mass thus allowing searches for narrow resonances with the coupling to the πp channel as low as 5%. The experimental setup consists of a 25 cm long liquid hydrogen target in a non-magnetic spectrometer of wire drift chambers with hexagonal structure. The measurements started in 2009. 3 billions of triggers are already collected with positive and negative pion beams in the beam momentum range 820-1330 MeV/c.

The idea of the experiment EPECUR16,17 was to look for this state in the ”formation” type experiment using pion-proton initial state
Summary
One of the main sources of the information about nuclear resonances are partial wave analyses (PWA) of pion-proton elastic scattering. 3 billions of triggers are already collected with positive and negative pion beams in the beam momentum range 820-1330 MeV/c. In 2003 the experiments LEPS1 and DIANA2 reported evidence for a new baryonic state θ+ with positive strangeness and very small width.
