Observation of an alternative $chi_{c0}(2P)$ candidate in $e^+ e^- rightarrow J/psi D bar{D}$

We perform a full amplitude analysis of the process $e^+ e^- rightarrow J/psi D bar{D}$, where $D$ refers to either $D^0$ or $D^+$. A new charmoniumlike state $X^*(3860)$ that decays to $D bar{D}$ is observed with a significance of $6.5sigma$. Its mass is ($3862^{+26}_{-32}{}^{+40}_{-13}$) MeV/$c^2$ and width is ($201^{+154}_{-67}{}^{+88}_{-82}$) MeV. The $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ hypothesis is favored over the $2^{++}$ hypothesis at the level of $2.5sigma$. The analysis is based on the 980 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data sample collected by the Belle detector at the asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider KEKB.
