Abstract

In the most recent measurements of the reaction e+eppˉe^+e^- \rightarrow p\bar{p} by the BABAR collaboration, new structures have been found with unknown origin. We examine a possible relation of the most distinct peak to the recently observed Φ(2170)\Phi(2170). Alternatively, we analyse possible explanations due to the nucleonΔˉ\,\bar{\Delta} and ΔΔˉ\Delta\bar{\Delta} thresholds. The latter could explain a periodicity found in the data.
