MOTIVATION
• new results in hadron spectroscopy
• e.g. Σ(1480)– 1-star “bump” in PDG– ZEUS: an indication in the invariant mass
– Crystal Ball: not observed in K -pπ0 π0 Λ
• COSY – a unique possibility to search for hyperons in hadron induced reactions

XpKYpKpp
• 3.65 GeV/c proton beam• Y hyperon mass < 1540 MeV/c2
• two final states: Y0* π + X - and Y0* π - X +
• three-particle coincidences (pK +π ±)

CHARGED PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION
• time-of-flight : in scintillators
• delayed signals from stopped K+ :
in telescopes
• momentum reconstruction in MWPCs

WHAT IS Y0*(1480) ?• Λ or Σ0 resonance ?
• 3-valence quark models: no room for Y0* (?)no additional excited Λ or Σ resonances ≤1600 MeV/c2
( e.g. S.Capstick and N.Isgur, U. Loehring et al. )
• 5-quark configurations • 1480 MeV/c2 by Ya.I.Azimov, 1970• 1440 MeV/c2 by H.Högaasen and P.Sorba, 1978• 1495 MeV/c2 by Y.Oh et al., Phys. Rev. D 69, 035208 (2004)
• 1446 MeV/c2 and width of 343 MeV/c2 in kaon-nucleon quasibound state C.Garcia, M.Lutz and J.Nieves, Phys. Lett. B 582, 49 (2004)
no clear theoretical picture !

• Y0* mass: ( 1480 ± 15 ) MeV/c2
• Y0* width: ( 60 ± 15 ) MeV/c2
• cross section of a few hundred nanobarns consistent for both final states• statistical significance at the 4.8 σ level
• Y0* non-3 quark candidate ?
Summary
• Y0* observed in pp collisions
in two final states: Y0* π+ X - and Y0* π- X +

OUTLOOK
• measurement at higher beam momentum 3.70 GeV/c
• charged Y* at ANKE with deuterium target
• Y* decays with photons in final states with WASA at COSY
