Abstract

Results are presented on ψ(2S) and J/ψ hadronic decays to KS0pK and KS0p¯K+n final states from data samples of 14 million ψ(2S) and 58 million J/ψ events accumulated at the BES II detector. No Θ(1540) signal, the pentaquark candidate, is observed, and upper limits are set for B(ψ(2S)ΘΘ¯KS0pK+KS0p¯K+n)<0.84×105 and B(J/ψΘΘ¯KS0pK+KS0p¯K+n)<1.1×105 at the 90% confidence level. For single Θ(1540) production, the upper limits determined by our analysis are also on the order of 105 in both ψ(2S) and J/ψ decays.
