Abstract

We report the first observation of the radiative decay 𝐷* 𝑠⁢0⁢(2317)+→𝐷*+ 𝑠⁢𝛾 with a statistical significance exceeding 10 standard deviations. The signal is observed in the continuum 𝑒+⁢𝑒− →𝑐⁢ ¯ 𝑐 process, using combined data samples of 980.4  fb−1 from Belle and 427.9  fb−1 from Belle II, collected at the KEKB and SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy 𝑒+⁢𝑒− colliders, respectively. The branching fraction ratio ℬ⁡[𝐷* 𝑠⁢0⁢(2317)+→𝐷*+ 𝑠⁢𝛾]/ℬ⁡[𝐷* 𝑠⁢0⁢(2317)+→𝐷+ 𝑠⁢𝜋0] is measured to be [7.13±0.70⁢(stat)±0.26⁢(syst)]%. This result provides crucial discrimination between theoretical models of the 𝐷* 𝑠⁢0⁢(2317)+ structure.
