Extraction of the D^*Dπcoupling from D^* decays

Abstract

The decays D^* -> Dπand D^* -> Dγare well described by heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. With the recent measurement of Br(D^{*+} -> D^+ γ), the D^{*0}, D^{*+}, and D_s^* branching fractions can be used to extract the D^*Dπand D^*Dγcouplings $g$ and $\beta$. The D^* -> Dγdecays receive important corrections at order $\sqrt{m_q}$ and, from the heavy quark magnetic moment, at order $1/m_c$. Here all the decay rates are computed to one-loop, to first order in $m_q$ and $1/m_c$, including the effect of heavy meson mass splittings, and the counterterms at order $m_q$. A fit to the experimental data gives two possible solutions, g=0.27^{+.04}_{-.02}^{+.05}_{-.02}, β=0.85^{+.2}_{-.1}^{+.3}_{-.1} GeV^{-1} or g=0.76^{+.03}_{-.03}^{+.2}_{-.1}, β=4.90^{+.3}_{-.3}^{+5.0}_{-.7} GeV^{-1}. The first errors are experimental, while the second are estimates of the uncertainty induced by the counterterms. (The experimental limit Γ_{D^{*+}} < 0.13 MeV excludes the $g=0.76$ solution.) Predictions for the D^* and B^* widths are given.
