Abstract
The behaviour of the ppBAR --> LAMBDALAMBDABAR reaction cross section near the LAMBDALAMBDABAR threshold is described within a hermitian cou pled-channels approach, The observed structure is shown to be caused b y a narrow LAMBDALAMBDABAR subthreshold state of quasinuclear nature. This resonance with quantum numbers J(PC) = 1-- is produced in the 3SD 1 partial wave and has a width of a few MeV. The physical reasons for the smallness of its width are explained. Other experimental possibili ties to find this resonance are proposed.
