New data on the reaction p+N\to[Sigma0K+]+N at Ep=70GeV
Protvino, 1996.- p.12, figs. 10, refs.:24.


New data for the coherent diffractive reaction $p+C \to [\Sigma^0K^+]+C$ at $E_p=70\,{\rm GeV}$ have been obtained with the modernized SPHINX setup. These data are in a good agreement with our previous results for the reaction under study. In the summed up mass spectrum $M(\Sigma^0K^+)$ some structure in the threshold region with mass $\sim 1810\,{\rm MeV}$ and strong $X(2000)$ peak with $M=1996\pm7\,{\rm MeV}$ and $\Gamma=99\pm21\,{\rm MeV}$ are clearly seen. The unusual features of the massive $X(2000)$ state (small enough decay width, anomalously large branching ratios for decay channels with strange particles emission) make it a very serious candidate for cryptoexotic pentaquark baryon with hidden strangeness $\ket{qqqs\bar s}$. We also present new information about a narrow threshold structure with $M\sim 1810\,{\rm MeV}$ and new data for $M(\Sigma^0K^+)$ and $M(p\eta)$ spectra in the reactions $p+N \to [\Sigma^0K^+]+N$ and $p+N \to [p\eta]+N$ in nonperipheral region with $\PtSq >0.3\,{\rm GeV}^2$.
