An experimental signature of the exotic bound states containing a K (ppK, ppK, ppK and ppnK ) predicted by Akaishi and Yamazaki [1] has been observed by two different collaborations, using stopped K beams [2],[3]. These states have been found to be narrow discrete bound systems with a binding energy of about 100 MeV. The formation of such clusters can be investigated also using proton induced reactions or looking for residues in heavy ion collisions. Among others, a dedicated experiment has been carried out at GSI using the FOPI spectrometer, to study the production of such exotic systems for the reactions p+CH2 and p+CD2 at TKIN = 3.5GeV. We report on the preliminary results achieved in this measurement using the missing mass and invariant mass methods.
