In this paper, we calculate the strong decays of $2^+$ heavy-light states, namely, the charmed $D^*_2(2460)^0$ meson and the charm-strange $D^*_{s2}(2573)^+$ meson. The method we adopt is the reduction formula, PCAC relation and low energy…
We report the first observation of a charm-strange meson D_sJ(2632) at a mass of 2632.5+/-1.7 MeV/c^2 in data from SELEX, the charm hadro-production experiment E781 at Fermilab. This state is seen in two decay modes, D_s eta and D^0 K^+. In…
We report on a study of $B$ mesons decaying into one of the narrow P-wave charm resonances, $D_2^{*}(2460)^{0}$ and $D_1(2420)^0$. Our preliminary results are based on 89 million \BB pairs collected with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
The resonances $D_{sJ}^*$(2317) and $D_{sJ}$(2460) which are considered to be the $(0^+,1^+)$ doublet composed of charm and strange quarks have been discovered recently. Using the method of Rosner which is based on the factorization…
A new charm-strange meson, the $D_{s1}^*(2863)$, has recently been observed by the LHCb collaboration which also determined the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$ to have spin 3. One of the speculations about the previously observed $D_{s1}^*(2710)$ is that…
A new excited charm-strange meson is observed through an amplitude analysis of the full phase space of $B^0\to D^+ D^- K^+ \pi^-$ decays. The analysis is based on a proton-proton collision data sample collected by the \lhcb experiment at a…
Possible $2S$ and $1D$ excited $D$ and $D_s$ states are studied, the charmed states $D(2550)^0$, $D^\ast(2600)$, $D(2750)^0$ and $D^\ast(2760)$ newly observed by the BaBar Collaboration are analyzed. The masses of these states are explored…
In this work, we tentatively assign the charmed mesons $D_{J}(2580)$, $D_{J}^{*}(2650)$, $D_{J}(2740)$, $D_{J}^{*}(2760)$, $D_{J}(3000)$ and $D_{J}^{*}(3000)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration according to their spin-parity and masses,…
We report the first observation of a charm-strange meson DsJ(2632) at a mass of 2632.6+/-1.6 MeV/c^2 in data from SELEX, the charm hadro-production experiment E781 at Fermilab. This state is seen in two decay modes, Ds eta and D0 K+. In the…
We discuss how to classify the $c{\bar s}$ meson $D_{sJ}(3040)$ recently discovered by the BaBar Collaboration. We consider four possible assignments, together with signatures useful to distinguish among them.
Based on the assumption that $D_{sJ}^{*}(2317)$ and $D_{sJ}(2460)$ are the $(0^+, 1^+)$ chiral partners of $D_{s}$ and $D^*_s$, we evaluate the strong pionic and radiative decays of $D_{sJ}^{*}(2317)$ and $D_{sJ}(2460)$ in the Constituent…
In my talk I discussed the properties of the newly discovered D_{sJ}^*(2317), D_{sJ}(2460), X(3872), and SELEX D^*_{sJ}(2632) states and suggested experimental measurements that can shed light on them. In this writeup I concentrate on an…
We determine the radiative decay amplitudes for decay into $D^*$ and $\bar{D} \gamma$, or $D^*_s$ and $\bar{D}_s \gamma$ of some of the charmonium like states classified as X,Y,Z resonances, plus some other hidden charm states which are…
We report a study of DsJ*(2317)+ and DsJ(2460)+ meson production in B decays. We observe the decays B+ -> DsJ(*)+ Dbar(*)0 and B0 -> DsJ(*)+ D(*)- with the subsequent decays DsJ*(2317)+ -> Ds+ pi0, DsJ(2460)+ -> Ds+ gamma, and DsJ(2460)+ ->…
We analyze the hadronic and radiative decay modes of the recently observed $D_{sJ}(2317)$ meson, in the hypothesis that it can be identifield with the scalar $s_\ell^P={1\over 2}^+$ state of $c \bar s$ spectrum ($D_{s0}$). The method is…
The results of several studies of charmed mesons and baryons at BABAR are presented. First, searches for the rare decays D0 --> l+ l- are presented and new upper limits on these processes are established. Second, a measurement of the…
In this article, we assign the higher charmed mesons $D^*_1(2680)$, $D_3^*(2760)$ and $D_2^*(3000)$ to be the 2S $1^-$, 1D $3^-$ and 1F $2^+$ states, respectively, and study the two-body strong decays to the ground state charmed mesons and…
Newly observed two charmed-strange resonances, $D_{s1}^*(2860)$ and $D_{s3}^*(2860)$, are investigated by calculating their Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka allowed strong decays, which shows that they are suitable candidates for the $1^3D_1$ and…
We consider a possible interpretation of the new charm-strange meson Ds0*(2317) as a hadronic molecule - a bound state of D and K mesons. Using an effective Lagrangian approach we calculate the strong Ds0* to Ds pi0 and radiative Ds0* to…
The open charm strong decay widths and certain ratio of branching fractions of a charmed strange baryon $\Xi_c(2970)$ are calculated in a $^3P_0$ model. The results are compatible with the latest experimental data. The theoretical ratio of…
