Nuclear Seminar Announcement Prof. Huan Huang UCLA " Is There a Theta++ State?" Date: Wednesday, March 2, 2005 Time: 4:10 pm 525 Physics Abstract: The theta+ pentaquark state has been the focus of experimental and theoretical investigations recently. I will report on result of experimental searches for a theta++ state through p+K decays at RHIC using the STAR detector. Implications of our result and future experimental effort will be discussed. The production of a dense partonic matter and its subsequent rapid hadronization at RHIC provide a unique environment for possible exotic particle formation.
