Abstract
We search for the charmed pentaquark candidate reported by the H1 collaboration, the , in interactions at a center-of-mass (c.m.) energy of 10.58 GeV, using of data recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II facility at SLAC. We find no evidence for such a state in the same decay mode reported by H1, and we set limits on its production cross section times branching fraction into as a function of c.m. momentum. The corresponding limit on its total rate per event, times branching fraction, is about 3 orders of magnitude lower than rates measured for the charmed and baryons in such events.
