Measurements of $Brightarrow bar{D} D_{s0} ^{*+}(2317)$ decay rates and a search for isospin partners of the $D_{s0}^{*+} (2317)$


Abstract in English

We report improved measurements of the product branching fractions ${mathcal B}(B^+rightarrowbar{D}^0 D_{s0}^{*+} (2317))times{mathcal B}( D_{s0} ^{*+}(2317)rightarrow D_s^{+}pi^0) =(8.0^{+1.3}_{-1.2} pm 1.1 pm 0.4)times 10^{-4}$ and ${mathcal B}(B^0rightarrow D^- D_{s0} ^{*+}(2317))times{mathcal B}(D_{s0}^{*+}(2317)rightarrow D_s^{+}pi^0) =(10.2^{+1.3}_{-1.2} pm 1.0 pm 0.4)times 10^{-4}$, where the first errors are statistical, the second are systematic and the third are from $D$ and $D_s$ branching fractions. In addition, we report negative results from a search for hypothesized neutral ($Z^0$) and doubly charged ($Z^{++}$) isospin partners of the $D_{s0}^{*+}(2317)$ and provide upper limits on the product branching fractions ${mathcal B}(B^0 rightarrow D^0 z^0)times{mathcal B}(z^0rightarrow D_s^{+}pi^-)$ and ${mathcal B}(B^+rightarrow D^- z^{++})times{mathcal B}(z^{++}rightarrow D_s^{+}pi^+)$ that are more than an order of magnitude smaller than theoretical expectations for the hypotheses that the $D_{s0} ^{*+}(2317)$ is a member of an isospin triplet. The analysis uses a 711 fb$^{-1}$ data sample containing 772 million $Bbar{B}$ meson pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance in the Belle detector at the KEKB collider.
