This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The stron 2 24600 D and D s2 2573 D K 0 transitions are analyzed via three-point QCD sum rules. First we calculate the corresponding strong coupling constants 2 D and s2 DK. Then we use them to calculate the corresponding decay widths and branching ratios. Making use of the existing experimental data on the ratio of the decay width in the pseudoscalar D channel to that of the vector D channel, finally, we estimate the decay width and branching ratio of the stron 2 24600 D 200 transition. Introduction Following the first observation, reported in 986 ], the past few decades have been a period for the observations of orbitally excited charmed mesons 2 7]. During this period there have also been several theoretical studies on the masses, strong and electromagnetic transitions of these mesons via various methods for instance see 8 2] and references therein. Among these orbitally excited mesons are the D2 2460 and D s2 2573 mesons. The D 2 2460 state has the quantum numbers I J P = 2 2. Being not known exactly, I J P = 02 quantum numbers are favored by the width and decay modes of the Ds2 2573 state. In this work, it is considered as a charmed strange tensor meson. One may refer to 22 32] and references therein for some experimental and theoretical studies on the properties of the charmed strange mesons. In the literature, compared to the other types of mesons, there are little theoretical works on the properties of the tensor mesons. Especially, their strong transitions are not studa e-mail: kazizi@dogus.edu.tr b e-mail: ysoymak@atilim.edu.tr c e-mail: hayriye.sundu@kocaeli.edu.tr ied much. Studying the parameters of these tensor mesons and the comparison of the attained results with the existing experimental results may provide fruitful information about the internal structures and the natures of these mesons. Considering the appearance of these charmed tensor mesons as intermediate states in studying the B meson decays, the results of this work can also be helpful in this respect. Beside all of these, the possibility for searches on the decay properties of D2 and D s2 mesons at LHC is another motivation for theoretical studies on these states. The present work puts forward the analysis of the strong transitions D2 24600 D and Ds2 2573 D K 0. For this aim, first we calculate the strong coupling form factors 2 D and s2 DK via QCD sum rules as one of the most powerful and applicable non-perturbative methods to hadron physics 33,34]. These strong coupling form factors are then used to calculate the corresponding decay widths and branching ratios of the transitions under consideration. Making use of the existing experimental data on the ratio of the decay width in the pseudoscalar D channel to that of the vector D channel, finally, we evaluate the decay width of the strong D2 24600 D 200 transition. 2 QCD sum rules for the strong coupling form factors 2 D and s2 DK The aim of this section is to present the details of the calculations of the coupling form factors 2 D and s2 DK for which we use the following three-point correlation function: μν p, p, q = i 2 d 4 x d 4 y e ip x e ip y 0 T J D y J K ] 0 J D 2 D s2 ] x 0, μν 23
306 Page 2 of 7 Eur. Phys. J. C 204 74:306 where T is the time ordering operator and q = p p is transferred momentum. The interpolating currents appearing in this three-point correlation function can be written in terms of the quark field operators as J D y = i dyγ 5 cy, J K ] 0 = iū s]0γ 5 d0, J D 2 D s2 ] μν x = i ū s]xγ μ Dν xcx 2 ] ū s]xγ ν Dμ xcx, 2 with Dμx being the two-side covariant derivative that acts on left and right, simultaneously. The covariant derivative Dμx is defined as Dμx = Dμ x Dμx], 3 2 where D μ x = μ x i g 2 λa A a μ x, D μ x = μ x i g 2 λa A a μ x. 4 Here λ a a =, 2,..., 8 are the Gell-Mann matrices and A a μ x stand for the external gluon fields. These fields are expressed in terms of the gluon field strength tensor using the Fock Schwinger gauge x μ A a μ x = 0, i.e. A a μ x = dααx β G a βμ αx 0 = 2 x βg a βμ 0 3 x ηx β D η G a βμ 0, 5 where we keep only the leading term in our calculations and ignore contributions of the derivatives of the gluon field strength tensor. One follows two different ways to calculate the above mentioned correlation function according to the QCD sum rule approach. It is calculated in terms of hadronic parameters, called the hadronic side. On the other hand, it is calculated in terms of quark and gluon degrees of freedom with the help of the operator product expansion in the deep Euclidean region, called the OPE side. The match of the coefficients of the same structures from both sides provides the QCD sum rules for the intended physical quantities. With the help of a double Borel transformation with respect to the variables p 2 and p 2 one suppresses the contribution of the higher states and the continuum. In the hadronic side, the correlation function in Eq. is saturated with complete sets of appropriate D2 D s2 ], K ], and D hadronic states with the same quantum numbers as the ones of the used interpolating currents.

In writing Eq. 0 we have used the following relationships of the polarization tensor ɛ λ ηθ 35]: ɛ λ ηθ = ɛλ θη, ɛλη η = 0, p η ɛ ηθ λ = p θ ɛ ηθ λ = 0, ɛ λ ηθ ɛ λ ηθ = δ λλ. Using of the matrix elements given in Eqs. 7, 8, 9, and 0 in Eq.6, the correlation function takes its final form in the hadronic side, μν had p, p, q = 2 DDs2 DK] m 2 D m2 K ] f D f K ] f D 2 Ds2 ] m c m d m us] m d p 2 m 2 D2 m 2 D s2 ]p 2 D q2 m 2 K ] m D 2 Ds2 ] p p p μ p ν 2 p p 2 m 2 D2 D s2 ] p 2 p μ p ν m 3 3 m D 2 Ds2 ] D2 D s2 ] p μ p ν m D 2 D s2 ] p p p μ p ν m D 2 Ds2 ] m 2 D2 D s2 ] p 2 p p 2 ] g μν, 2 3 23

The values of the strong coupling form factors at Q 2 = m 2 K ] give the strong coupling constants whose values are then used to find the decay rate and branching ratio of the strong transitions under consideration. To proceed, we use some input parameters, presented in Table. The next task is to find the working regions for the auxiliary parameters M 2, M 2, s 0, and s 0. As they are not physical parameters, the strong coupling form factors should roughly be independent of these parameters.

From a numerical analysis, the working intervals are obtained as 7.68.5] GeV 2 s 0 8.89.4] GeV 2 and 4.7GeV 2 s 0 5.6GeV2 for the strong vertex D2 DD s2 DK]. In the case of the Borel mass parameters M 2 and M 2, we choose their working windows such that they guarantee not only the pole dominance but also the convergence of the OPE. If these parameters are chosen too large, the convergence of the OPE is good but the continuum and higher state contributions exceed the pole contribution. On the other hand if one chooses too small values, although the pole dominates the higher state and continuum contributions, the OPE have a poor convergence. By considering these conditions we choose the windows 3 GeV 2 M 2 8GeV 2 and 2GeV 2 M 2 5GeV 2 for the Borel mass parameters. Our analysis shows that, in these intervals, the dependence of the results on the Borel parameters are weak. Now we proceed to find the variations of the strong coupling form factors with respect to Q 2. Using the working regions for the auxiliary parameters we observe that the following fit function well describes the strong coupling form factors in terms of Q 2 : 2 DDs2 DK] Q 2 = c exp Q2 ] c 3, 30 c 2 where the values of the parameters c, c 2, and c 3 for different structures are presented in Tables 2 and 3 for D2 D and Ds2 DK, respectively. From this fit parametrization we obtain the values of the strong coupling constants for each 23

The errors appearing in our results belong to the uncertainties in the input parameters as well as errors coming from the determination of the working regions for the auxiliary parameters. From Table 4 we see that the results strongly depend on the selected structure such that the maximum values for the strong couplings in D2 and D s2 channels that belong to the structure p μ p ν are roughly four times greater that those of the minimum values which correspond to the structure p μ p ν. The values obtained using other structures lie between these maximum and minimum values. Note that the coupling constant in the channel has been estimated in a pioneering study via chiral perturbation theory 40]. By converting the parametrization of the coupling constant used in 40] to our parametrization, Falk 40] finds a value of 2 D 6 GeV in the vertex which is close to our prediction obtained via the structure g μν. Our results obtained via the structures p μ p ν and p μ p ν are comparable with that of 40] within the errors. However, our results obtained via the structure p μ p ν are considerably high and our prediction obtained using the structure p μ p ν is very low compared to Table 6 Numerical results for decay width and branching ratio of D s2 2573 D K 0 transition obtained via different structures Structure Ɣ GeV BR p μ p ν 3.70 ±.04 0 4 2.8 ± 0.59 0 2 p μ p ν 4.73 ±.42 0 3 2.78 ± 0.69 0 p μ p ν.84 ± 0.48 0 3.08 ± 0.27 0 p μ p ν.84 ± 0.48 0 3.08 ± 0.27 0 g μν 3.72 ± 0.97 0 3 2.9 ± 0.63 0 the result of 40] for the strong coupling constant associated to the D2 D vertex.

Considering the fact that the dominant decay modes of D2 2460 are D 2 2460 D and D 2 2460 D, from the values presented in Tables 5 and 7, we see that all structures give the results for the total decay width of the D2 2460 tensor meson compatible with the experimental data 37] except for the structure p μ p ν, which gives a result roughly one order of magnitude smaller than the experimental values. To sum up, we calculated the strong coupling form factors 2 D q 2 and s2 DKq 2 in the framework of QCD sum rules. Using the obtained working regions for the auxiliary parameters entering the sum rules of the strong form factors, we found the behavior of those form factors in terms of Q 2.UsingQ 2 = m 2 K ], we also found the values of the strong coupling constants 2 D and s2 DK, which have then been used to calculate the decay widths and branching ratios of the strong D2 24600 D, D2 24600 D 200, and Ds2 2573 D K 0 transitions. Our results can be used in analyses of the future experimental data, especially at the K channel.
