TL;DR

This paper investigates the $D_{s0}(2590)$ meson, showing that coupled-channel effects and $D^*K$ components significantly influence its mass and decay properties, aligning theoretical predictions with experimental observations.

Contribution

It introduces a coupled-channel approach incorporating $D^*K$ contributions to better match the observed $D_{s0}(2590)$ mass and decay width, highlighting the importance of hadron interactions near thresholds.

Findings

Coupled-channel interactions induce an 88 MeV mass shift.

The $D^*K$ component accounts for about 60 ext{%} of the state.

Two-body $D^*K$ decay width correlates with the $D^*K$ component weight.

Abstract

The recently discovered $D_{s0}(2590)$ state by the LHCb collaboration was regarded as the first excited state of $^1S_{0}$ charmed-strange meson. Its mass is, however, lower than the Godfrey-Isgur quark model prediction by about 80 MeV. In this work, we take into account the $D^{\ast}K$ contribution to the bare $c\bar{s}$ state, and show that the coupled-channel interaction induces an 88 MeV shift with respect to the conventional quark model $c\bar{s}$ state, which is much closer to the experimental mass. Our study shows that in addition to $S$-wave, $P$-wave coupled-channel interactions also play a role for hadrons located close to two-hadron thresholds. We further scrutinize the unquenched quark model results with a model independent approach. It is shown that the two-body $D^*K$ decay width is proportional to the weight of the $D^*K$ component. To saturate the experimental total decay width with the $D^*K$ partial decay width we need a weight of about 60\% while to reproduce the unquenched quark model result a weight of about 5\% is needed. Therefore, we encourage future experimental studies on the two-body $D^*K$ partial decay of $D_{s0}(2590)$.
