Abstract: (arXiv)
Using a sample of 58 million J/ψJ/\psi events collected with the BESII detector at the BEPC, more than 100,000 J/ψppˉπ0J/\psi \to p\bar p \pi^0 events are selected, and a detailed partial wave analysis is performed. The branching fraction is determined to be Br(J/ψppˉπ0)=(1.33±0.02±0.11)×103Br(J/\psi \to p \bar p \pi^0)=(1.33 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.11) \times 10^{-3}. A long-sought `missing' NN^*, first observed in J/ψpnˉπJ/\psi \to p \bar n \pi^-, is observed in this decay too, with mass and width of 20404+3±252040_{-4}^{+3}\pm 25 MeV/c2^2 and 2308+8±52230_{-8}^{+8}\pm 52 MeV/c2^2, respectively. Its spin-parity favors 3/2+{3/2}^+. The masses, widths, and spin-parities of other NN^* states are obtained as well.
