Abstract

Using 13.5 ${\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector, we have observed a narrow resonance decaying to ${D}_{s}^{*+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ with a mass near $2.46\mathrm{GeV}{/c}^{2}.$ The search for such a state was motivated by the recent discovery by the BaBar Collaboration of a narrow state at $2.32\mathrm{GeV}{/c}^{2},$ the ${D}_{\mathrm{sJ}}^{*}{(2317)}^{+},$ that decays to ${D}_{s}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}.$ Reconstructing the ${D}_{s}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ and ${D}_{s}^{*+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ final states in CLEO data, we observe peaks in both of the corresponding reconstructed mass difference distributions, $\ensuremath{\Delta}{M(D}_{s}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{)=M(D}_{s}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0})\ensuremath{-}{M(D}_{s})$ and $\ensuremath{\Delta}{M(D}_{s}^{*}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{)=M(D}_{s}^{*}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0})\ensuremath{-}{M(D}_{s}^{*}),$ both of them at values near $350\mathrm{MeV}{/c}^{2}.$ We interpret these peaks as signatures of two distinct states, the ${D}_{\mathrm{sJ}}^{*}{(2317)}^{+}$ plus a new state, designated as the ${D}_{\mathrm{sJ}}{(2463)}^{+}.$ Because of the similar $\ensuremath{\Delta}M$ values, each of these states represents a source of background for the other if photons are lost, ignored or added. A quantitative accounting of these reflections confirms that both states exist. We have measured the mean mass differences $〈\ensuremath{\Delta}{M(D}_{s}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0})〉=350.0\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.2(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.0(\mathrm{syst})\mathrm{MeV}{/c}^{2}$ for the ${D}_{\mathrm{sJ}}^{*}{(2317)}^{+}$ state, and $〈\ensuremath{\Delta}{M(D}_{s}^{*}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0})〉=351.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.7(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.0(\mathrm{syst})\mathrm{MeV}{/c}^{2}$ for the new ${D}_{\mathrm{sJ}}{(2463)}^{+}$ state. We have also searched, but find no evidence, for decays of the two states via the channels ${D}_{s}^{*+}\ensuremath{\gamma},{D}_{s}^{+}\ensuremath{\gamma},$ and ${D}_{s}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}.$ The observations of the two states at 2.32 and $2.46\mathrm{GeV}{/c}^{2},$ in the ${D}_{s}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ and ${D}_{s}^{*+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ decay channels, respectively, are consistent with their interpretations as $c\overline{s}$ mesons with an orbital angular momentum $L=1$ and spin and parity ${J}^{P}{=0}^{+}$ and ${1}^{+}.$
