A model-independent description of the psi(2S)pi mass spectrum is obtained, using as input the K pi mass spectrum and angular distribution derived directly from data, without requiring a theoretical description of resonance shapes or their interference. The hypothesis that the psi(2S)pi mass spectrum can be described in terms of K pi reflections alone is rejected with more than 8 sigma significance. This provides confirmation, in a model-independent way, of the need for an additional resonant component in the mass region of the Z(4430)(-) exotic state. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.92.112009 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.01951 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.92.112009 %P 112009-15pp
