Update on strong and radiative decays of the Ds0*(2317) and Ds1(2460) and their bottom cousins

Abstract

The isospin breaking and radiative decay widths of the positive-parity charm-strange mesons, D*s0 and Ds1, and their predicted bottom-strange counterparts, B*s0 and Bs1, as hadronic molecules are revisited. This is necessary, since the B*s0 and Bs1 masses used in Eur. Phys. J. A 50 (2014) 149 were too small, in conflict with the heavy quark flavour symmetry. Furthermore, not all isospin breaking contributions were considered. We here present a method to restore heavy quark flavour symmetry, correcting the masses of B*s0 and Bs1, and include the complete isospin breaking contributions up to next-to-leading order. With this we provide updated hadronic decay widths for all of D*s0, Ds1, B*s0 and Bs1. Results for the partial widths of the radiative deays of Ds0*(2317) and Ds1(2460) are also renewed in light of the much more precisely measured D*+ width. We find that Bsπ0 and Bsγ are the preferred channels for searching for Bs0* and Bs1, respectively.
