Newly observed $D_J(3000)^{+,0}$ and $D_J^*(3000)^0$ as $2P$ states in $D$ meson family

TL;DR

This paper identifies the newly observed $D_J(3000)$ and $D_J^*(3000)$ as specific $2P$ states in the $D$ meson family based on mass spectrum analysis and decay behavior calculations.

Contribution

It provides a novel interpretation of $D_J(3000)$ and $D_J^*(3000)$ as $2P(1^+)$ and $2^3P_0$ states, supported by mass and decay analyses.

Findings

$D_J(3000)$ is explained as the $2P(1^+)$ state.

$D_J^*(3000)$ is explained as the $2^3P_0$ state.

Decay behaviors of various $D$ meson states are also calculated.

Abstract

In this work, we study the newly observed $D_J(3000)$ and $D_J^*(3000)$ through the analysis of mass spectrum and calculation of the corresponding two-body strong decay behaviors. Our results show that $D_J(3000)$ and $D_J^*(3000)$ are explained as the $2P(1^+)$ and $2^3P_0$ states in the $D$ meson family, respectively, which is supported by the calculated masses of these two states and their decay behaviors. As a byproduct, the decay behaviors of $3^1S_0$, $3^3S_1$, $2D(2^-)$, $2^3D_1$, $2D^\prime(2^-)$, $2^3D_3$, $2P^\prime(1^+)$, $2^3P_2$, $1F(3^+)$, $1^3F_2$, $1F^\prime(3^+)$, and $1^3F_4$ states are also given, which will be helpful to further experimentally study mixings of these $D$ mesons, too.
