Abstract:
Using data recorded by the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we report the first observation of a narrow state decaying into Ξc +π \Xi_c~+\pi~-. The state has mass difference M(Ξc +π )M(Ξc +)M(\Xi_c~+\pi~-)-M(\Xi_c~+) of 178.2±0.5±1.0178.2\pm0.5\pm1.0 MeV/c 2\rm{MeV/c~2}, and a width of <5.5 MeV/c 2\rm{MeV/c~2} (90\% confidence level limit). The most likely explanation of this new state is that it is the J=\32 spin excitation of the Ξc 0\Xi_c~0 charmed baryon.
