Observation of a Narrow Meson Decaying to Ds pi0 gamma at a Mass of 2.458 GeV/c{sup 2}
A narrow state, which is labeled D{sub sJ}(2458){sup +}, with mass 2458.0 {+-} 1.0 (stat.) {+-} 1.0 (syst.) MeV/c{sup 2}, is observed in the inclusive D{sub s}{sup +} {pi}{sup 0}{gamma} mass distribution in 91 fb{sup -1} of e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation data recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} storage ring. The observed width is consistent with the experimental resolution. The data favor decay through D*{sub s}(2112){sup +} {pi}{sup 0} rather than through D*{sub sJ}(2317){sup +}{gamma}. An analysis of D{sub s}{sup +} {pi}{sup 0} data accounting for the influence of the D{sub sJ}(2458){sup +} produces a D*{sub sJ}(2317){sup +} mass of 2317.3 {+-} 0.4 (stat.) {+-} 0.8 (syst.) MeV/c{sup 2}.
