Abstract

Evidence for a narrow state decaying into an

F

meson and a photon has been obtained in

e^{+} e^{-}

annihilation events at 29-GeV c.m. energy. This state lies 139.5 ± 8.3(stat.) ± 9.7(syst.) MeV above the

F

-meson mass and is consistent with the expected

F^{*}

meson. The

F

mesons are identified by a peak in the

K^{+} K^{-} K π^{\pm}

mass at 1.948±0.028±0.010 GeV.
