Canonical interpretation of the DsJ(2860) and DsJ(2690)

The spectrum and decay properties of radially excited Ds states are examined in a new model. Good agreement is obtained with the properties of two recently announced Ds mesons identified as Ds0(2860)=cs¯(2P) and Ds∗(2690)=cs¯ as a possible mixture of (2S;S13) and (1D;D13). Searching for these mesons in B decays is advocated due to large predicted branching ratios.
