We have searched for evidence of the production and decay of a neutral bound-state pentaquark, one of a predicted doublet of states: P0c̄s=|c̄suud〉 and P−c̄s=|c̄sddu〉. Specifically, we have searched for the decay P0c̄s→K∗0K−p in data from Fermilab experiment E791, in which a 500 GeV/c π− beam interacted with nuclear targets. We find mass-dependent upper limits at the 90% confidence level for the ratio of cross section times branching fraction of this decay relative to that for the decay Ds−→K∗0K−. The upper limits vary between 0.016 and 0.036 for M(P0c̄s) between 2.75 and 2.91 GeV/c2, assuming a pentaquark lifetime of 0.4 ps.
