Abstract

Results are presented on ψ(2S)\psi(2S) and J/ψJ/\psi hadronic decays to KS0pKnˉK^0_SpK^-\bar n and KS0pˉK+nK^0_S\bar p K^+n final states from data samples of 14 million ψ(2S)\psi(2S) and 58 million J/ψJ/\psi events accumulated at the BES II detector. No Θ(1540)\Theta(1540) signal, the pentaquark candidate, is observed, and the upper limits are set. We also present a narrow enhancement near 2mp2m_p in the invariant mass spectrum of ppˉp \bar{p} pairs from J/ψγppˉJ/\psi \to \gamma p \bar{p} decays, an enhancement near the mp+MΛm_p + M_{\Lambda} mass threshold and an enhancement near the mK+mΛm_K + m_{\Lambda} mass threshold from J/ψpKΛˉ+c.c.J/\psi \to p K^- \bar{\Lambda} + c.c. decays, based on 58 million J/ψJ/\psi events.
