Fishing hadronic resonances
in the background bin
On recently analyzing cross section data
for Lambda(c)-Lambda(c) production
in electron-positron annihilation, which are published
by the Belle Collaboration
(arXiv:0807.4458), we discovered more
relevant signals in the data then the
Belle Collaboration had reported.
In total we found four new resonances
which we may interpret as
charm-anticharm vector states,
next to an indication for the existence
of yet a fifth new resonance.
This brings the total of charm-anticharm
vector resonances from the six
which were discovered more than thirty
years ago, now to eleven.
When confirmed by more accurate measurements,
this discovery implies
a tremendous step forward
for our understanding of the charmonium spectrum
in particular,
and of strong interactions in general.
In my talk, I will discuss more examples
of relevant signals in the background
of scattering cross sections
obtained at laboratories
for particle physics,
which were not reported
in the published analyses,
although, nevertheless,
very important for further theoretical studies.
