Radiative and isospin-violating decays of Ds-mesons in the hadrogenesis conjecture |
Matthias F. M. Lutz and Madeleine Soyeur |
We challenge the hadrogenesis conjecture by a study of radiative and isospin-violating strong decays of charmed mesons with strangeness. The scalar Ds0*(2317) and the axial vector Ds1*(2460) states are generated by coupled-channel dynamics based on the leading order chiral Lagrangian. The effect of chiral corrections is investigated. We show that taking into account large-Nc relations implies a measurable signal for an exotic axial vector state in the eta D* invariant mass distribution. The one-loop contribution to the electromagnetic decay amplitudes of scalar and axial-vector states is calculated using the chiral Lagrangian, where the role of light vector meson degrees of freedom is explored. We confront our results with measured branching ratios. Once the light vector mesons are considered a natural explanation of all radiative decay parameters is achieved. |
