Abstract

We have observed a "K^-pp" -like structure in the d(π⁺,K⁺) reaction at 1.69 GeV/c. In this reaction, a Λ (1405) hyperon resonance is expected to be produced as a doorway to form K^-pp through the Λ ∗p→ K^-pp process. However, most of the Λ (1405) produced would escape from the deuteron without secondary reactions. Therefore, coincidence of high-momentum (>250MeV/c) proton(s) at large emission angles (39° < θ_lab. < 122°) was requested to enhance the signal-to-background ratio. A broad enhancement in the proton coincidence spectra is observed around the missing mass of 2.27 GeV/c², which corresponds to the K^-pp binding energy of 95⁺¹⁸_-17 (stat.) ⁺³⁰_-21 (syst.) MeV and the width of 162⁺⁸⁷_-45 (stat.) ⁺⁶⁶_-78 (syst.) MeV.
