In particular, we argue that the observed branching fraction B(D(sJ)(*)(2860)-->D(*)K)/B(D(sJ)(*)(2860)-->DK)=1.1 pm 0.15 pm 0.19 supports the existence of two largely overlapping resonances at about 2.86 GeV, namely a pair of radially excited tensor 2(+) and scalar 0(+) c-sbar states. This scenario is further justified by comparing with the corresponding excited charmonium states. Also other aspects of the charm-strange spectrum are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-08-10T19:10:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.25.Ft", "14.40.Lb", "12.39.Pn", "14.40.Df" ], "keywords": [ "interactions", "decay mode", "babar collaboration", "peremptory conclusion", "charm-strange spectrum" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2010, "month": "Jun", "volume": 81, "number": 11, "pages": 118101 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 828128, "adsabs": "2010PhRvD..81k8101V" } } }
