This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We observe a narrow enhancement near 2m[sub p] in the invariant mass spectrum of p[bar p] pairs from radiative J/[psi][yields][gamma]p[bar p] decays. No similar structure is seen in J/[psi][yields][pi][sup 0] p[bar p] decays. The results are based on an analysis of a 58 million event sample of J/[psi] decays accumulated with the BESII detector at the Beijing electron-positron collider. The enhancement can be fit with either an S- or P-wave Breit Wigner resonance function. In the case of the S-wave fit, the peak mass is below 2m[sup p] at M= 1859[sub -10][sup+3] (stat)[sub -25][sup+5] (sys) MeV/c[sup 2] and the total width is[Lambda]
