${{\mathit \Xi}{(1820)}}$

$I(J^P)$ = $1/2(3/2^{-})$ 
The clearest evidence is an 8-standard-deviation peak in ${{\mathit \Lambda}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$ seen by GAY 1976C. TEODORO 1978 favors $\mathit J = 3/2$, but cannot make a parity discrimination. BIAGI 1987C is consistent with $\mathit J = 3/2$ and favors negative parity for this $\mathit J$ value.
