The e + e − → ωπ + π − → π + π − π + π − π 0 cross section has been measured at DCI by the DMI experiment in the 1.4–2.2 GeV energy range. A bump in this cross section appears at 1.65 GeV above a small background, with 6.2 s.d. statistical significance. It can be interpreted as a new isoscalar vector meson: ω ′ or ø ′.
