BASSOMPIERRE
1995
${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = $1.8$ $\pm0.2$ MeV
1  BASSOMPIERRE 1995 is an extension of BASSOMPIERRE 1993 . They looked for a peak in the invariant mass of ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ pairs in the region ${\mathit m}_{\mathrm { {{\mathit e}^{+}} {{\mathit e}^{-}} }}$ = $1.8$ $\pm0.2$ MeV. They obtained bounds on the production rate ${{\mathit A}^{0}}$ for $\tau ({{\mathit A}^{0}}$ ) = $10^{-18} - 10^{-9}~$sec. They also found an excess of events in the range ${\mathit m}_{\mathrm { {{\mathit e}^{+}} {{\mathit e}^{-}} }}$ = $2.1 - 3.5$ MeV.
