Abstract
Recent investigations have suggested that the six-quark combination uuddss could be a deeply bound state (S) that has eluded detection so far, and a potential dark matter candidate. We report the first search fora stable, doubly strange six-quark state in Υ→S ̄ Λ ̄Λ decays based on a sample of 90×106 Υ (2S) and 110×106 Υ (3S) decays collected by the BABAR experiment. No signal is observed, and 90% confidence level limits on the combined Υ (2S,3S) → S ̄Λ ̄Λ branching fraction in the range (1.2–1.4)×10−7arederived for mS<2.05 GeV. These bounds set stringent limits on the existence of such exotic particles
