Abstract
The decay J/ψ→N̄Nπ provides an effective isospin 1/2 filter for the πN system due to isospin conservation. Using 58×106 J/ψ decays collected with the Beijing Electromagnetic Spectrometer at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider, more than 100 thousand J/ψ→pπ-n̄+c.c. events are obtained. Besides the two well-known N* peaks at around 1500MeV/c2 and 1670MeV/c2, there are two new, clear N* peaks in the pπ invariant mass spectrum around 1360MeV/c2 and 2030MeV/c2 with statistical significance of 11σ and 13σ, respectively. We identify these as the first direct observation of the N*(1440) peak and a long-sought missing N* peak above 2GeV/c2 in the πN invariant mass spectrum.
