A narrow J =i enhancement at a mass of 1.462 ±0.006 GeV/c 2 with a width of 0.049 ±0.012 GeV/e 2 has been observed in^7r° and«7r + modes produced inpp collisions at 6.Q GeV/c. The effect, having a 6-standard-deviation significance, is narrower in width than has been observed before in missing-mass-spectrometer experiments.Since its discovery in phase-shift analyses, 1 the N*(1470) state has been one of the most controversial, if not the most uncertain, resonances reported. 2 Early experiments reporting obser-vations of its existence have been done using a one-armed proton spectrometer with counters and spark chambers, 3 Among these various experiments, general agreement was reached on
