17 26/07/2002C.Palomares / ICHEP02 Possible Interpretations  The observation is found to be compatible with the background expectation (expectation 1.3)  If we assume the production of  b resonance in the invariant mass range 9-10 GeV: Upper limits on    b )xBR:    b ) x BR( 4 charged part.) < 0.3 keV    b ) x BR( 4 charged part. +  o ) < 0.5 keV    b ) x BR( 6 charged part.) < 0.4 keV    b ) x BR( 6 charged part. +  o ) < 1.4 keV At 95% of C.L Assuming the same BR for each channel:    b ) x BR(all channels) < 0.2 keV at 95% of C.L.

18 26/07/2002C.Palomares / ICHEP02 Conclusions We find 3 candidates in the W  range 9-10 GeV They are compatible with background (1.3 events) The observation is also compatible with a signal. The analysis will be slightly improved to increase the sensitivity
