Abstract

Motivated by the observations of Tcsˉ0(2900)0T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^0 and Tcsˉ0(2900)++T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++}, we propose to search for \tcsbar0\tcsbar^0 in the cleaner process BKD0K0B^- \to K^- D^0 K^0. In the DKD^*K^* molecular picture, our estimates suggest that Tcsˉ0(2900)0T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^0 should contribute significantly to the D0K0D^0 K^0 invariant mass distribution in BKD0K0B^- \to K^- D^0 K^0, as reported by the Belle II Collaboration. The corresponding fit fraction is estimated to be (9.72±3.92)%(9.72\pm 3.92)\% or (7.09±5.88)%(7.09\pm 5.88)\% in different fitting schemes. Further precise measurements of this process at Belle II and LHCb could be helpful for clarifying the nature of Tcsˉ0(2900)T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900).
