I briefly review the experimental observations concerning the charmed mesons $D_{sJ}^*(2317)$, $D_{sJ}(2460)$ and survey on some of the interpretations proposed in order to understand their nature. I present an analysis of their decay modes…
The experimental status of the recently observed resonances which could be interpreted as c$\bar q$ mesons with s$_l^P={1/2}^+$ is reviewed. In the framework of HQET and chiral perturbation theory, strong and radiative widths of these…
The observation of the D_{sJ}^*(2317), D_{sJ}(2460), and SELEX D^*_{sJ}(2632) states with properties differing considerably from what was expected has led to a renewed interest in hadron spectroscopy. In addition to these states,…
The Belle Collaboration has recently reported a study of the decays $B \to D_{s1}(2536)^{+}\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ and has given also estimates of relevant ratios between branching fractions of decays $B \to D^{(\ast)}D_{sJ}^{(\ast)}$ providing…
Since their discovery in 2003, the open charm states $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ provide a challenge to the conventional quark model. In recent years, theoretical evidence has been accumulated for both states in favor of a…
Different experiments have confirmed that the $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ mesons are very narrow states located, respectively, below the $DK$ and $D^{\ast}K$ thresholds. This is markedly in contrast with the expectations of…
We discuss several new observations of mesons with open charm. In particular, we consider $D_{sJ}(2317)$ and $D_{sJ}(2460)$ and compare their isospin violating decays into $D^{(*)}_s \pi$ to the radiative decays analysed using light-cone…
We study radiative decays of $D^*_{sJ}(2317)$ and $D_{sJ}(2460)$ using light-cone QCD sum rules. In particular, we consider the decay modes $D^*_{sJ}(2317)\to D_s^* \gamma $ and $D_{sJ}(2460)\to D_s^{(*)} \gamma, D^*_{sJ}(2317) \gamma$ and…
The spectrum and decay properties of radially excited $D_s$ states are examined in a new model. Good agreement is obtained with the properties of two recently announced $D_s$ mesons identified as $D_{s0}(2860) = c\bar{s}(2P)$ and…
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…
The masses of the $D^\ast_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ resonances lie below the $DK$ and $D^\ast K$ thresholds respectively, which contradicts the predictions of naive quark models and points out to non-negligible effects of the…
We probe the inner structure of the meson $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ through the decays of $B_{(s)}$ to two charmed mesons within pQCD approach. Assuming $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ as a scalar meson with $\bar cs$ structure, we find that the predictions for…
The narrow mesons, DsJ*(2317) and DsJ(2460), observed recently in the final states Ds+ pi0 and Ds*+ pi0 are pointed out to be naturally assigned as the ground-state scalar and axial-vector chiral states in the csbar system, which would…
Two charm-strange mesons, the $D_{s1}^*(2710)$ and the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$, have recently been observed by several experiments. There has been speculation in the literature that the $D_{s1}^*(2710)$ is the $2^3S_1(c\bar{s})$ state and the…
We study the radiative decays $D_{s1}(2460)\to\gamma D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)\to \gamma D^0K^+/\gamma D^+K^0$ and argue that their simultaneous experimental measurement, or at least a constraint on the ratio of the corresponding…
We study the possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of charm mesons in the H and S doublets. Since the P-wave charm-strange mesons $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ are extremely narrow, the future experimental observation of…
The discovery of the $D^\ast_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ resonances in the charmed-strange meson spectra revealed that formerly successful constituent quark models lose predictability in the vicinity of two-meson thresholds. The…
We study the decay widths of the narrow resonances $D_{sj}^*(2317)$ and $D_{sj}(2460)$ in the chiral quark model, together with the well-known $D^\ast$ and $D_s^*$ mesons. All the parameters in our calculation are taken from Godfrey and…
Two new states in the charm strange sector, DsJ(2317) and DsJ(2460), have recently been discovered at electron positron collider experiments. The new states are first observed in the dominant Ds pi0 and Ds* pi0 modes respectively and are…
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…
