We perform a full amplitude analysis of the process e+ e- → J/ψ$$D\bar{D}$$, where D refers to either D0 or D+. A new charmoniumlike state X*(3860) that decays to$$D\bar{D}$$ is observed with a significance of 6.5σ. Its mass is (3862 $$+26+40\atop{-32-13}$$) MeV=c2, and its width is (201 $$+154+88\atop{-67-82}$$) MeV. The JPC 0++ hypothesis is favored over the 2++ hypothesis at the level of 2.5σ.
