Abstract

In our current study, we delve into the peak-like structure observed during the reaction process of K+nK0pK^+n\to K^{0}p at approximately s2.5\sqrt{s}\sim2.5 GeV. Our focus centers on exploring the potential S=+1S=+1 resonance P0+P0P^{+*}_0\equiv P^*_0 as an excited state within the extended vector-meson and baryon (VBVB) antidecuplet. To achieve this aim, we employ the effective Lagrangian method in conjunction with the (u,t)(u,t)-channel Regge approach, operating within the tree-level Born approximation. We thoroughly examine various spin-parity quantum numbers for the resonance, resulting in a compelling description of the data, where MP02.5M_{P^*_0}\approx2.5 GeV and ΓP0100\Gamma_{P^*_0}\approx100 MeV. Furthermore, we propose an experimental technique to amplify the signal-to-noise ratio (S/NS/N) for accurately measuring the resonance. Notably, our findings reveal that background interference diminishes significantly within the KK^* forward-scattering region in the center-of-mass frame when the KK^* is perpendicularly polarized to the reaction plane. Additionally, we explore the recoil-proton spin asymmetry to definitively determine the spin and parity of the resonance. This study stands to serve as a valuable reference for designing experimental setups aimed at investigating and comprehending exotic phenomena in QCD. Specifically, our insights will inform future J-PARC experiments, particularly those employing higher kaon beam energies.
