Analysis of the $D_{s3}^*(2860)$ as a D-wave $c\bar{s}$ meson with QCD sum rules (1603.06026v3)

Abstract: In this article, we assign the $D_{s3}^*(2860)$ to be a D-wave $c\bar{s}$ meson, and study the mass and decay constant of the $D_{s3}^*(2860)$ with the QCD sum rules by calculating the contributions of the vacuum condensates up to dimension-6 in the operator product expansion. The predicted mass $M_{D_{s3}^*}=(2.86\pm0.10)\,\rm{GeV}$ is in excellent agreement with the experimental value $M_{D_{s3}^*}=(2860.5\pm 2.6 \pm 2.5\pm 6.0)\,\rm{ MeV}$ from the LHCb collaboration. The present prediction supports assigning the $D_{s3}^*(2860)$ to be the D-wave $c\bar{s}$ meson.
