Abstract

We have searched for narrow resonance peaks in the process e+e→γγ, utilizing a Na22 β+ source and a pair of Ge detectors to detect the final two γ’s. No statistically significant peak is observed at the center-of-mass energy of 1062 keV, where the heavy-ion-collision experiment at LBL has seen a peak. The upper limit to the quantity ΓeeΓγγ/Γ is 1.1×104 eV at the 95% confidence level for a scalar or pseudoscalar resonance at 1062 keV/c2. Similar upper limits are obtained in the mass region between 1045 and 1085 keV/c2
