Charmed-strange Mesons Experimental Results

Abstract

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 very narrow. They are consistent with 0+ and 1+ P-wave charm anti-strange mesons. The DsJ(2460) meson is also observed in Ds gamma and Ds pi+ pi- modes. A review of the discoveries and possible explanations is given.
