Abstract
We have observed the ψ′′ resonance in the cross section for e+e−→hadrons at Ec.m.=3770±6.0 MeV, of total width Γ=24±5 MeV and partial width to electron pairs Γee=180±60 eV. The cross section for hadronic events which contain anomalous electron provides both unambiguous evidence of D semileptonic decays and a branching ratio measurement of (11±2)%.
