Abstract
Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e- storage ring using DORIS II at DESY, we have observed a new decay channel for the excited charm-strange meson Ds1(2536)+→D*OK+. The production cross section for the Ds1(2536)+ decaying via this channel is measured to be σ (Ds1(2536)+)·BR(Dsl(2536) +→D*0K+)= 18±4±3 pb at ECM = 10.4 GeV. The mass of the Ds1(2536)+ is found to be 2535.2 ± 0.5±1.5 MeV/c2 in agreement with the value obtained from an analysis of the Ds1(2536)+→D*+K0 s decay channel. The natural width is determined to be less than 3.9 MeV/c2 at 90%CL.
