Abstract
Using a sample of events recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy collider at SLAC, we search for the spin-singlet partner of the -wave states in the sequential decay , . We observe an excess of events above background in the distribution of the recoil mass against the at mass . The width of the observed signal is consistent with experimental resolution, and its significance is , including systematic uncertainties. We obtain the value for the product branching fraction .
