Very broad X(4260) and the resonance parameters of the ψ(3D) vector charmonium state.

We argue that the X(4260) enhancement contains a wealth of information on 1-- cc spectroscopy. We discuss the shape of the X(4260) observed in the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-forbidden process e+e-→π+π-J/ψ, in particular, at and near vector charmonium resonances as well as open-charm threshold enhancements. The resulting very broad X(4260) structure does not seem to classify itself as a 1-- cc resonance, but its detailed shape allows us to identify new vector charmonium states with higher statistics than in open-charm decay. Here, we estimate the resonance parameters of the ψ(3D). Our approach also provides an explanation for the odd dip in the π+π-J/ψ data precisely at the ψ(4415) resonance.

DsJ(2860) as the first radial excitation of Ds0*(2317).

A coupled-channel model previously employed to describe the narrow Ds0*(2317) and broad D0*(2400) charmed scalar mesons is generalized so as to include all ground-state pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar and vector-vector two-meson channels. All parameters are chosen fixed at published values, except for the overall coupling constant, which is fine-tuned to reproduce the Ds0*(2317) mass. Thus, the radial excitations Ds0*(2850) and D0*(2740) are predicted, both with a width of about 50 MeV. The former state appears to correspond to the new DsJ(2860) resonance decaying to DK announced by BABAR in the course of this work. Also, the D0*(2400) resonance is roughly reproduced, though perhaps with a somewhat too low central resonance peak.

Observed Ds(2317) and tentative D(2100-2300) as the charmed cousins of the light scalar nonet.

The very recently observed D(*)(sJ)(2317)(+) meson is described as a quasibound scalar csmacr; state in a unitarized meson model, owing its existence to the strong 3P0 Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-allowed coupling to the nearby S-wave DK threshold. By the same mechanism, a scalar D(*)(0)(2100-2300) resonance is predicted above the Dpi threshold. These scalars are the charmed cousins of the light scalar nonet f(0)(600), f(0)(980), K(*)(0)(800), and a(0)(980), reproduced by the same model. The standard cnmacr; and csmacr; charmed scalars D0 and D(s0), cousins of the scalar nonet f(0)(1370), f(0)(1500), K(*)(0)(1430), and a(0)(1450), are predicted to lie at about 2.64 and 2.79 GeV, respectively, both with a width of some 200 MeV.

Multichannel calculation of D*s vector states and the D+sJ(2632) resonance.

We study bound states below threshold and resonances above threshold in the D0K+ and D(+)(s)eta systems, using a many-coupled-channel model for nonexotic meson-meson scattering applied to states with the quantum numbers of cs quark-antiquark vector mesons. We fit the ground state at 2.112 GeV, whence the lowest resonances in D0K+ come out at 2.61, 2.72, 3.03, and 3.08 GeV. The resonance at 2.61 GeV acquires a width of about 8 MeV, while its partial P wave cross section is up to 6 times larger in D(s)eta than in D0K+, provided a mechanism accounting for Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-forbidden decays is included. The latter finding is in agreement with the observations of the SELEX Collaboration with respect to the recently reported D(+)(sJ)(2632) resonance. Therefore, we conclude that the D(+)(sJ)(2632) is probably the first recurrence of the D(*)(s)(2112) meson.
