Abstract

We propose to search for \(\Theta ^+\) in \(K^+d\rightarrow K^0pp\) reaction at \(p_{K^+}\)=0.5 GeV/c at J-PARC. A large acceptance Hyperon Spectrometer, which consists mainly of a time projection chamber and a 1-T superconducting magnet, will exclusively measure the decay products of \(\Theta ^+\), such that \(\Theta ^+ \rightarrow K^0 p\), followed by \(K^0\rightarrow \pi ^+\pi ^-\), with a mass resolution of 1 MeV at \(M_\Theta\). We investigated the feasibility of the proposed experiment using a Monte Carlo simulation. As a result, we expect to collect five orders of magnitude \(\Theta ^+\) events, assuming a cross section of 300 \(\mu\)b in 15-day beam time at J-PARC.
