Comment on the Nature of the and Mesons
arXiv:1312.6181 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.89.074023
Abstract
Two charm-strange mesons, the and the , have recently been observed by several experiments. There has been speculation in the literature that the is the state and the is the state. In this paper we explore this and other explanations in the context of the relativized quark model and the pseudoscalar emission decay model. We conclude that the is most likely the state and the is most likely the state with the resonances also contributing to the observed signals and explaining the observed ratios of branching ratios to and final states. We point out that measuring the spin can support or eliminate this explanation and that there are six excited states in this mass region; the , , , and two states. Observing some of the missing states would help confirm the nature of the and the states.
