Abstract
Evidence is reported for a narrow structure near the J/ψϕ threshold in exclusive B+→J/ψϕK+ decays produced in (p)over-bar p collisions at √s=1.96  TeV. A signal of 14±5 events, with statistical significance in excess of 3.8 standard deviations, is observed in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7  fb-1, collected by the CDF II detector. The mass and natural width of the structure are measured to be 4143.0±2.9(stat)±1.2(syst)  MeV/c[superscript 2] and 11.7[subscript -5.0] [superscript +8.3](stat)±3.7(syst)  MeV/c[superscript 2].
