Higher radial and orbital excitations in the charmed meson family

Abstract

Using abundant experimental information about charmed mesons together with recent research, we systematically study higher radial and orbital excitations in the charmed meson family by analyzing the mass spectrum and by calculating their Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-allowed two-body decay behaviors. This phenomenological analysis reveals underlying properties of the newly observed charmed states $D(2550)$, ${D}^{*}(2600)$, ${D}^{*}(2760)$, $D(2750)$, ${D}_{J}(2580)$, ${D}_{J}^{*}(2650)$, ${D}_{J}^{*}(2760)$, ${D}_{J}(2740)$, ${D}_{J}(3000)$, and ${D}_{J}^{*}(3000)$ to provide valuable information about the charmed mesons still missing in experiments.
