Search for an exotic S= -2, Q = -2 baryon resonance at a mass near 1862 MeV in quasireal photoproduction

A search for an exotic baryonresonance with S=-2, Q=-2 has been performed in quasireal photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel {xi}{ sup-}{ pi}{ sup-}{yields}{lambda}{ pi}{ sup-}{ pi}{ sup-}{yields}p{ pi}{ sup-}{ pi}{ sup-}{ pi}{ sup-}. No evidence for a previously reported {xi}{ sup--}(1860) resonance is found in the {xi}{ sup-}{ pi}{ sup-} invariant massspectrum. An upper limit for the photoproduction cross section of 2.1 nb is found at the 90% confidence level. The photoproduction cross section for the {xi}{ sup0}(1530) is found to be between 9 and 24 nb.
