Using D+ mesons exclusively reconstructed in the DELPHI detector at L
EP, an excess of 66 +/- 14(stat.) events is observed in the D(+)pi(+)
pi(-) final state with a mass of 2637 +/- 2(stat.) +/- 6(syst.) MeV/c(
2) and a full width smaller than 15 MeV/c(2) (95% C.L.). This signal i
s compatible with the expected decay of a radially excited D' (J(P) =
1(-))meson. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re
