Title: Observation by BaBar of Two New Narrow Ds States
Speaker: Dr Chris Hawkes (Birmingham)
Abstract
The BaBar experiment has observed two new Ds states with
surprisingly low masses and narrow decay widths. The
D*sJ(2317)+ lies below the DK
threshold and decays to D+spi0.
The DsJ(2458)+ lies above the DK threshold
and below the D*K threshold and decays to
D+spi0gamma. Both of these decays
violate isospin conservation. The analyses will be described and
results compared with those from other experiments.
