Abstract

We have investigated D⁺ π^- and D^*+ π^- final states and observed the two established L = 1 charmed mesons, the D₁ (2420)⁰ with mass 2421_-2-2⁺¹⁺² MeV/c² and width 20_-5-3⁺⁶⁺³ MeV/c² and the D₂^* (2460)⁰ with mass 2465 ± 3 ± 3 MeV/c² and width 28_-7-6⁺⁸⁺⁶ MeV/c². Properties of these final states, including their decay angular distributions and spin-parity assignments, have been studied. We identify these two mesons as the j_light = 3 2 doublet predicted by HQET. We also obtain constraints on Γ_s/ (Γ_s + Γ_D) as a function of the cosine of the relative phase of the two amplitudes in the D₁ (2420)⁰ decay.
