•πN→KΛ is a very sensitive process to the number and properties of the P11 resonances in energy range 1.7GeV < W < 1.8 GeV, therefore it is an optimal place to search for the predicted and still missing crypto-exotic pentaquark states

We wanted to show that N(1710) is needed to describe data, and that PW Analises which do not show it, do not show it because they ignore inelastic channels.

•We renormalized van Dyck’s and Knasel’s data to get them to the same total cross section•After, we shifted Knasel’s data 9 MeV in W. This step is open to criticism, but all of the shifting was within experimental errors that were stated in their articles.•We wanted to get the structure, not the exact position of the peak, because we wanted a qualitative answer if there is a N(1710) resonance influence in this channel.

Now what do we get?Now what do we get?
• Extra care was made to fit the peak.• We got the result from differential cross sections and they required no P13
resonance, which was introduced by Knasel et al. and Baker et al in order to describe Knasel’s differential cross sections.
• We beleived Baker’s data more, since it showed two qualities:1. Differential cross sections were continuous (no jumps, just a continuous
line in cos(θ), which was completely different in Knasel’s choice)2. They were linear in contrast with Knasel’s, which were impossible to
classify

•We put another resonance in the fit (added through K-matrix formalism), and get a better fit throughout the energy region.The second resonance has parameters M=1780 MeV, Γ=154MeV and a few percent branching fraction into KΛ channel.•With this, we managed to get both peak and the tail of the data.•This all smells of pentaquark. But how can we tell if it’s a pentaquark?

Why not?It’s quite simple. There is a great threat of mistaking the channel opening with a resonance, especially if the channel opening is so near threshold. We need coupled-channel analysis which incorporates not only or channel, but all that have opening in the 1700 MeV region.

However, this step is not without hazard and one should not do it hastily.The danger is that number and distribution of points can jeopradize results, since usually, one will get “artificial” T-matrices.By artificial, it means that T-matrices will be dense in a certain energy region (one where actual measurements were made, and where we did the original fitting) and nonexistant elsewhere.Preliminary results (with such artificial T-matrices) give significant distortion in πN elastic channel, which is opposite

This is the last published PWA, by Arndt et al., which has no N(1710) in it. Prof. Arndt answered that he does not need the N(1710) to describe the data well.
