Abstract
Using 13.5 of annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector, we have observed a narrow resonance decaying to with a mass near The search for such a state was motivated by the recent discovery by the BaBar Collaboration of a narrow state at the that decays to Reconstructing the and final states in CLEO data, we observe peaks in both of the corresponding reconstructed mass difference distributions, and both of them at values near We interpret these peaks as signatures of two distinct states, the plus a new state, designated as the Because of the similar values, each of these states represents a source of background for the other if photons are lost, ignored or added. A quantitative accounting of these reflections confirms that both states exist. We have measured the mean mass differences for the state, and for the new state. We have also searched, but find no evidence, for decays of the two states via the channels and The observations of the two states at 2.32 and in the and decay channels, respectively, are consistent with their interpretations as mesons with an orbital angular momentum and spin and parity and
