The Dalitz plot analysis technique is used to study the resonant substructures of $B^{-} \to D^{+} \pi^{-} \pi^{-}$ decays in a data sample corresponding to 3.0 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. A model-independent analysis of the angular moments demonstrates the presence of resonances with spins 1, 2 and 3 at high $D^{+}\pi^{-}$ mass. The data are fitted with an amplitude model composed of a quasi-model-independent function to describe the $D^{+}\pi^{-}$ S-wave together with virtual contributions from the $D^{*}(2007)^{0}$ and $B^{*0}$ states, and components corresponding to the $D^{*}_{2}(2460)^{0}$, $D^{*}_{1}(2680)^{0}$, $D^{*}_{3}(2760)^{0}$ and $D^{*}_{2}(3000)^{0}$ resonances. The masses and widths of these resonances are determined together with the branching fractions for their production in $B^{-} \to D^{+} \pi^{-} \pi^{-}$ decays. The $D^{+}\pi^{-}$ S-wave has phase motion consistent with that expected due to the presence of the $D^{*}_{0}(2400)^{0}$ state. These results constitute the first observations of the $D^{*}_{3}(2760)^{0}$ and $D^{*}_{2}(3000)^{0}$ resonances.

Revealing the $D_0^*(2300)$ two-pole structure from lattice data and the SU(3) limit
hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0
Lattice data analysis with UChPT finds two I=1/2 poles at physical point with positions 2094-i111 MeV and 2463-i108 MeV; lower pole splits like the sigma on ms=const trajectory and links to 3-bar, higher pole links to...

Analysis of the $D_0^*(2300)$ resonance from lattice QCD under chiral symmetry
hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0
Chiral symmetry corrections in lattice QCD fits shift the D0*(2300) resonance pole closer to the Dπ threshold and reduce its width, while coupled channels produce a two-pole structure.

Higher excited charmed and charmed-strange mesons in an unquenched quark model
hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0
Unquenched quark model calculations show coupled-channel effects lower masses of higher D and Ds excitations; D_s1(2933) is assigned as mixed D_s(2P1), D_sJ(3040) favors D_s(3^1S0), while D(3000) fits none of the 3S/2...

$D_{(s)}(2S)$ and $D^{*}_{(s)}(2S)$ production in nonleptonic $B_{(s)}$ weak decays
hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0
Covariant light-front calculations predict branching ratios of 10^{-5} to 10^{-3} for B(s) to D(s)(2S) and D*(s)(2S) plus light mesons, larger than Bethe-Salpeter results but consistent with other quark models.

Closing the knowledge gap in semileptonic $B\rightarrow X_c\ell\nu$ decays
hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0
The unmeasured fraction of inclusive semileptonic B to charm decays is dominated by final states without D mesons, likely from baryons and Ds mesons.
