The $Theta^+$ pentaquark baryon was searched for via the $pi^-pto K^-X$ reaction in a missing-mass resolution of 1.4 MeV/$c^2$(FWHM) at J-PARC. $pi^-$ meson beams were incident on the liquid hydrogen target with the beam momentum of 1.92 GeV/$c$. No peak structure corresponding to the $Theta^+$ mass was observed. The upper limit of the production cross section averaged over the scattering angle of 2$^{circ}$ to 15$^{circ}$ in the laboratory frame was obtained to be 0.26 $mu$b/sr in the mass region of 1.51$-$1.55 GeV/$c^2$.The upper limit of the $Theta^+$ decay width using the effective Lagrangian approach was obtained to be 0.72 MeV/$c^2$ and 3.1 MeV/$c^2$ for $J^P_{Theta}=1/2^+$ and $J^P_{Theta}=1/2^-$, respectively.

The Theta+ was searched for via the K+p -> pi+X reaction using the 1.2 GeV/c K+ beam at the K6 beam line of the KEK-PS 12 GeV Proton Synchrotron. In the missing mass spectrum of the K+p -> pi+X reaction, no clear peak structure was observed. Therefore a 90 % C.L. upper limit of 3.5 ub/sr was derived for the differential cross section averaged over 2degree to 22degree in the laboratory frame of the K+p -> pi+Theta+ reaction. This upper limit is much smaller than the theoretical calculation for the t-channel process where a K0* is exchanged. From the present result, either the t-channel process is excluded or the coupling constant of g_{K*NTheta} is quite small.
We have studied the reaction K+ p -> K+ n pi+ using an 11 GeV/c K+ beam and the Large Acceptance Superconducting Solenoid (LASS) multiparticle spectrometer facility at SLAC. We put limits on the production of narrow theta+ baryons in this reaction.
The pentaquark $Theta^+$ has been searched for via the $pi^-p to K^-X$ reaction with beam momenta of 1.92 and 2.01 GeV/$c$ at J-PARC. A missing mass resolution of 2 MeV (FWHM) was achieved but no sharp peak structure was observed. The upper limits on the production cross section averaged over the scattering angle from 2$^{circ}$ to 15$^{circ}$ in the laboratory frame were found to be less than 0.28 $mu$b/sr at the 90% confidence level for both the 1.92- and 2.01-GeV/$c$ data. The systematic uncertainty of the upper limits was controlled within 10%. Constraints on the $Theta^+$ decay width were also evaluated with a theoretical calculation using effective Lagrangian. The present result implies that the width should be less than 0.36 and 1.9 MeV for the spin-parity of $1/2^+$ and $1/2^-$, respectively.
We have carried out an experiment to search for a neutron-rich hypernucleus, $^6_{Lambda}$H, by the $^6$Li($pi^-,K^+$) reaction at $p_{pi^-}$ =1.2 GeV/$c$. The obtained missing mass spectrum with an estimated energy resolution of 3.2 MeV (FWHM) showed no peak structure corresponding to the $^6_{Lambda}$H hypernucleus neither below nor above the $^4_{Lambda}$H$+2n$ particle decay threshold. An upper limit of the production cross section for the bound $^6_{Lambda}$H hypernucleus was estimated to be 1.2 nb/sr at 90% confidence level.
A search for $K^-pp$ bound state (the lightest kaonic nucleus) has been performed using the $gamma d rightarrow K^+ pi^- rm{X}$ reaction at E$_gamma$=1.5-2.4 GeV at LEPS/SPring-8. The differential cross section of $K^+ pi^-$ photo-production off deuterium has been measured for the first time in this energy region, and a bump structure was searched for in the inclusive missing mass spectrum. A statistically significant bump structure was not observed in the region from 2.22 to 2.36 GeV/$c^2$, and the upper limits of the differential cross section for the $K^-pp$ bound state production were determined to be 0.1$-$0.7 $mu$ b (95$%$ confidence level) for a set of assumed binding energy and width values.
