The BaBar experiment has discovered a narrow state, denoted as D*_{sJ}(2317)+, near 2.32 GeV/c^2 in the D+s pi^0 invariant mass distribution from inclusive $e^{+}e^{-}$ interactions at center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV. The same…
A narrow state, which we label DsJ(2458)+, with mass 2458.0 +/- 1.0(stat.) +/- 1.0(syst.) MeV/c^2, is observed in the inclusive Ds+ pi0 \gamma$ mass distribution in 91 fb-1 of e^+e^- annihilation data recorded by the BABAR detector at the…
Using 13.5 inverse-femtobarns of e+e- annihilation data in the CLEO II detector at CESR, we have observed a new narrow state decaying to Ds*+ pio, denoted the DsJ(2463). A possible interpretation holds that this is a J^P = 1+^ partner to…
Using 13.5 fb^{-1} of e^+e^- annihilation data collected with the CLEO-II detector, we have observed a new narrow resonance in the D_s^*\pi^0 final state, with a mass near 2.46 GeV/c^2. The search for such a state was motivated by the…

The Babar and CLEO collaborations have recently observed states decaying to D_s^+\pi^0 and D_s^{*+}\pi^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 observe the decays $ $D^*_{s1}(2710)^+ \to D^*K$ and $D^*_{sJ}(2860)^+ \to D^*K$ and measure their branching fractions relative to the $D K$ final state. We also observe, in the $D^*K$ mass spectrum, a new broad structure at a mass of…

We present a study of the $D^+\pi^-$, $D^0\pi^+$, and $D^{*+}\pi^-$ systems in inclusive $e^+e^- \rightarrow c\bar{c}$ interactions in a search for new excited $D$ meson states. We use a dataset, consisting of $\sim$454 fb$^{-1}$, collected…

We observe a new D_s meson with mass (2856.6 +/- 1.5_{stat.} +/- 5.0_{syst.}) MeV/c^2 and width (48 +/- 7_{stat.} +/- 10_{syst.}) MeV decaying into D^0 K^+ and D^+K^0_S. In the same mass distributions we also observe a broad structure with…
We discuss the new state $D_{sJ}(2317)$ discovered by BaBar and demonstrate using QCD inequalities that if indeed the $f_0(980)$ and the new $D_{sJ}(2317)$ ($0^+$) are primarilly made of four quarks that a new I=0 ``$\bar DD$ bound state''…
