A search for the S(1936) in 100 GeV pBe interactions

Abstract A search for the S(1936) has been made in the invariant mass spectrum of pp-pairs produced inclusively in proton-beryllium interactions at 100 GeV incident momentum. No enhancement is observed, giving a 3 standard deviation upper limit on the cross section of 220 nb/nucleon for production of a narrow pp state around ≈ 1940 MeV in the x F range 0.18 x F
