Reaction $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to \bar{D}D$ and ${\psi }^{\prime }$ mesons

Abstract

We study the reaction $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to \bar{D}D$ near threshold in the ${}^3{P}_0$ non-relativistic quark model, including as intermediate states the $J/\psi$, $\psi (2S)$, $\psi (3770)$ and $\psi (4040)$ mesons. The work reveals that experimental data strongly favor one of the two $\psi (2S)-\psi (3770)$ mixing angles derived by fitting to the $e^{-}{e}^{+}$ partial decay widths of the $\psi (2S)$ and $\psi (3770)$ mesons. The meson $X(3940)$ as well as the resonance around 3.9 GeV observed by Belle and BaBar Collaborations in the reaction $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to \bar{D}D$ is unlikely to be a $c\bar{c}$ $I^G(J^{PC})=0^{-}(1^{--})$ state.
