Abstract

We report on evidence in the ππN mass spectrum for the production of two nucleon isobars, the N*(1500) and N*(1700). They appear to be produced very peripherally, and have the same production cross section at both 7.0 and 25.0 GeVc, indicating that a nuclear diffraction-dissociation process is dominant. The N*(1500) seems to be JP=12+ and decays principally via pσ and not Δ++π as previously suggested. The N*(1700) could be the N*(1688)52+ decaying partially into Δ++π, or it could be the N*(1700)12 decaying in a non-Δ++π mode riding on a large Δ++π52+ nonresonant Deck-type background. Finally the ΛK decay of the N*(1700) is observed and evidence presented for it being a J=12 object. Production of this ½ isobar should be forbidden by the Morrison ΔP=(1)ΔJ rule.
