Received 8 June 1999
Using data recorded by the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we report evidence for two new charmed baryons, one decaying into Ξc+π+π- via an intermediate Ξc*0 and its isospin partner decaying into Ξc0π+π- via an intermediate Ξc*+. We measure the mass differences of the two states to be M(Ξc+π+π-)-M(Ξc+) = 348.6±0.6±1.0 MeV, and M(Ξc0π+π-)-M(Ξc0) = 347.2±0.7±2.0 MeV. We interpret these new states as the JP = 3 / 2- Ξc1 particles, the charmed-strange analogs of the Λc1+(2625).
