We have observed a ""-like structure in the reaction at 1.69 GeV/. In this reaction a hyperon resonance is expected to be produced as a doorway to form through the process. However, most of the produced would escape from the deuteron without secondary reactions. Therefore, coincidence of high-momentum ( 250 MeV/) proton(s)at large emission angles () was requested to enhance the signal-to-background ratio. A broad enhancement in the proton coincidence spectra is observed around the missing mass of 2.27 GeV/, which corresponds to the binding energy of 95 (stat.) (syst.) MeV and the width of 162 (stat.) (syst.) MeV.
