Abstract

We show that the behavior of the excitation curves of some e+ee^+e^- annihilation processes close to the nucleon-antinucleon threshold can be explained either by the ρ(1900)\rho(1900) resonance itself or by its interference with other resonances. Besides the six-pion annihilation and the e+eK+Kπ+πe^+e^- \to K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^- and e+eΦπ0e^+e^- \to \Phi \pi^0 processes, we also analyze the final states ηπ+π\eta \pi^+ \pi^-, K+Kπ+ππ0K^+ K^- \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0, and K+Kπ0π0K^+ K^-\pi^0 \pi^0, the behavior of which around 1.6 GeV has not yet attracted attention. Analysis of the data on the e+eppˉe^+e^- \to p \bar p and e+ennˉe^+e^- \to n \bar n reactions clearly shows that the ρ(1900)\rho(1900) resides above the nnˉn \bar n threshold.
