Abstract
The energy spectrum for high energy rays MeV) from the process emitted at in the laboratory frame has been measured at an energy below the pion production threshold, namely, at 216 MeV. The resulting photon energy spectrum extracted from coincidence events consists of a narrow peak at a photon energy of about 24 MeV and a relatively broad peak in the energy range of MeV. The statistical significances for the narrow and broad peaks are and 3.5σ, respectively. This behavior of the photon energy spectrum is interpreted as a signature of the exotic dibaryon resonance with a mass of about 1956 MeV, which is assumed to be formed in the radiative process followed by its electromagnetic decay via the mode. The experimental spectrum is compared with those obtained by means of Monte Carlo simulations.
