Study of excited $D$ and $D_s$ mesons in a relativized quark model

Abstract: We use a modified relativistic quark model to study the properties of excited charmed and charmed strange mesons. We calculate the masses and wave functions of conventional charmed and charmed strange mesons incorporating both spin and $S$-$D$ mixing effects and fit parameters of the potential model with known experimental states using differential evolution technique. Using Leading Born-Oppenheimer expansion, we also compute the spectrum and wave functions of first gluonic excited state of charmed and charmed strange mesons. We examine the effects of gluonic excitation on the spectrum of resultant hybrid mesons. By using our calculated spectrum and wave functions, we determine the radiative transitions of the conventional and hybrid open charm mesons. We compare our calculations with experimental data and other works. We expect our results will be beneficial in the detection of the charmed and charmed strange conventional and hybrids mesons.
