${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{c}}}{(2940)}^{+}}$ $I(J^P)$ = $0(3/2^{-})$

A narrow peak seen in ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit D}^{0}}$ and in ${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{c}}}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$ . It is not seen in ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit D}^{+}}$ , and therefore it is a ${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{c}}}^{+}}$ and not a ${{\mathit \Sigma}_{{{c}}}}$. $\mathit J{}^{P} = 3/2-$ is favored, but not certain.
