Vacuum properties of open charmed mesons in a chiral symmetric model
Abstract
We present a U(4)R × U(4)L chirally symmetric model, which in addition to scalar and pseudoscalar mesons also includes vector and axial-vector mesons. A part from the three new parameters pertaining to the charm degree of freedom, the parameters of the model are fixed from the Nf=3 flavor sector. We calculate open charmed meson masses and the weak decay constants of nonstrange open charm D and strange open charm DS. We also evaluate the (OZI-dominant) strong decays of open charmed mesons. The results are turn out to be in quantitative agreement with experimental data.
