The purpose of this dissertation is to present evidence for a resonance in an analysis of data obtained by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) experiment E623. This experiment was performed in the FNAL Multiparticle Spectrometer (MPS) utilizing a 400 GeV/c proton beam on a nuclear target. The MPS for E623 included a hardware trigger designed to enhance the inclusive $K^+K^-K^+ K^-$ sample, with low $K^+ K^-$ mass to enhance the detection of pairs of $$\phi$$ mesons observed through the $$\phi \to K^+ K^-$$ decay....
