Charged charmonium-like states as rescattering effects in B -> DsJ D(*) decays

Abstract

Using purely phenomenological approach we show that the peaking structures observed in the psi(2S) pi+ and chic1 pi+ mass spectra in B -> psi(2S)(chic1) pi+ K decays can be result of (D D(*))+ -> (ccbar)res pi+ rescattering in the decays B -> DsJ (-> D(*) K) D(*). In particular, the position of the peak in the chain B -> Ds(2S) D+ -> K- D*0 D+ -> K- psi(2S) pi+ coincides well with the measured Z(4430) mass, assuming the mass of Ds(2S) (the first radial excitation of Ds) to be 2610 MeV/c2. The widths of the Z(4430) peak is also well reproduced in this approach independent on the width of Ds(2S). Although the decay B -> Ds(2S) D+ has not been observed so far and even Ds(2S)-meson is not discovered yet, this decay is expected to be large, and the mass of Ds(2S) is predicted in the range (2600-2650)MeV/c2. The broad bump in chic1 pi+ spectrum can be attributed to the B -> Ds*(2S) D+ -> K- D0 D+ decay observed with a large branching fraction followed by rescattering D0 D+ -> chic1 pi+.
