DECAY J PSI-]PHI(MM) DEMANDS THE F(0)(S-ASTERISK) BE NARROW/

The nature of f(0)(S-) is revealed by its pole structure in the compl ex energy plane. Data on pi pi-->pi pi, pi pi--><K(K)over bar>, and pp -->pp pi pi(<K(K)over bar>) in the neighborhood of the <K(K)over bar> threshold are described by unitary amplitudes with at least one nearby pole, which sits on sheet II. However, we reiterate that results on J /psi-->phi pi pi(<K(K)over bar>) decay require an additional nearby po le on sheet III, forcing the f(0)(S-) to be narrow, in contradistinct ion to the very recent claims of Zou and Bugg.
