We report on a new ZEUS search for a narrow state decaying into $p(\bar{p})K^0_S$, which was previously claimed by the ZEUS collaboration. In the present search, which uses much increased statistics, no evidence for this state is found.…
A search for a narrow baryonic resonance decaying to $K^0_s p$ or $K^0_s \bar p$ is carried out in deep inelastic ep scattering with the H1 detector at HERA. Such a resonance could be a strange pentaquark \thplns, evidence for which has…
