Abstract

In view of the renewing experimental interest for searching strangeness +1+1 baryons at J-PARC, we study the existence of light baryon resonances with strangeness +1 generated in the KK-(N/Δ)(N^*/\Delta^*) system, where NN^* represents either N(1535)N^*(1535)/N(1650)N^*(1650)/N(1700)N^*(1700), and Δ\Delta^* corresponds to Δ(1620)\Delta(1620). The description of the properties of the aforementioned states requires considering the dynamics involved in the coupled pseudoscalar-baryon and vector-baryon systems with strangeness S=0S=0 in the s-wave. For the purpose of our current study, we consider the pseudoscalar-baryon (PB) and vector-baryon channels (VB) to which the mentioned NN^* and Δ\Delta^* resonances couple and solve the Faddeev equations for the coupled channel system KK-PB\text{PB}, KK-VB\text{VB}, with all interactions being in the s-wave. Despite some strong attraction present in two of the subsystems, we do not find clear evidence supporting the formation of strangeness +1 states, with spin-parity JP=1/2+J^P=1/2^+, in the energy region 200022002000-2200 MeV. However, the case of spin-parity JP=3/2+J^P=3/2^+ seems more promising, showing the formation of a resonance with a mass around 2167 MeV, with a width of 90-100 MeV. We suggest that a signal of such a state could be found in processes with final states like KNKN, K(892)NK^*(892) N.
