Abstract

Recent estimates suggest that the production of strange exotic objects, such as the hypothetical H dibaryon (H), is surprisingly large in Au collisions at AGS energies. Two possible bound states of the H, namely H−3He and H-d, would be well separated in mass from known nuclear isotopes and therefore could be uniquely identified by experiment. We report the null result of a first search for these objects in Au+Pt collisions at the AGS, and limit their production cross sections for stable systems to ∼10−5 mb/(GeV)2, near y=0.6 and pt/Z=0.18 GeV/c.Received 15 March 1995DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.52.1580©1995 American Physical Society
