Search for the kaonic bound state ppK⁻ in pp→ p K⁺Λ* — •Robert Muenzer — Excellence Cluster Universe, TU-München, Boltzmannstrasse 2, D-85748 Garching

The investigation of the kaon-nucleon interaction has been intensified in the last year due to new results on Λ(1405) (1) and indications on the existence of the ppK⁻ bound state (2). Such results are heavily discussed among the community since the description of the background needs a good knowledge of the underling production reaction in the reaction pp→ p K⁺Λ.
We have measured the proton-proton reaction with a beam energy of 3.1 GeV at the FOPI Spectrometer at GSI-Darmstadt. At this experiment a set of around 1000 events of these exclusive reaction pp→ p K⁺Λ could be extracted.
This exclusive events were analysis with the Bonn Gatchina Partial Wave Analysis framework (3), which provides a solution including several resonant and non-resonant production mechanism and their interference. This description delivers a sufficient description of experimental data and a determination of possible contribution of ppK⁻.
In this talk method of the background description via the PWA and the determination of an upper limit for the ppK⁻ will be presented.
