Testing the Nature of the D_{sJ}^*(2317)^+ and D_{sJ}(2463)^+ States Using Radiative Transitions

Abstract

The Babar and CLEO collaborations have recently observed states decaying to D_s^+π^0 and D_s^{*+}π^0 respectively and suggest the possible explanation that they are the missing P-wave c\bar{s} states with J^P=0^+ and 1^+. In this note we compare the properties of the D_{sJ}^*(2317)^+ and D_{sJ}(2463)^+ states to those expected of the c\bar{s} D_{s0}^* and D_{s1} states. We expect the D_{s0}^* and D_{s1} with the reported masses to be extremely narrow, Γ\sim {\cal O}(10\hbox{keV}), with large branching ratios to D^*_sγfor the D_{s0}^* and to D^*_sγand D_sγfor the D_{s1}. Crucial to this interpretation of the Babar and CLEO observations is the measurement of the radiative transitions. We note that it may be possible to observe the $D_{s1}(2536)$ in radiative transitions to the $D_s^{\ast }$.

Major revisions to include recent observation by CLEO of D_{sJ}(2463)^+ including change of title and additional radiative transitions included in results. Conclusions are not changed
