Abstract
We study initial-state radiation events, e+eγISRπ+πJ/ψ, with data collected with the BABAR detector. We observe an accumulation of events near 4.26GeV/c2 in the invariant-mass spectrum of π+πJ/ψ. Fits to the mass spectrum indicate that a broad resonance with a mass of about 4.26GeV/c2 is required to describe the observed structure. The presence of additional narrow resonances cannot be excluded. The fitted width of the broad resonance is 50 to 90MeV/c2, depending on the fit hypothesis.
