On the Cover

Dalitz plot of the d-π⁰ versus the π⁰-π⁰ invariant mass squared for the pd → dπ⁰π⁰ + (spectator proton) interaction, from an experiment by the WASA-at-COSY Collaboration. The experimental results point to the existence of a new, unconventional I = 0, J^P = 3⁺ resonance in the two-baryon system.
