The recently observed new member of the charm-strange family D s (2632) which has a surprisingly narrow width is challenging our theory. D s (2317) and D s (2457) which were observed earlier have similar behaviors and receive various theoretical explanations. Some authors use the heavy hadron chiral effective theory to evaluate heavy-light quark systems and obtain a reasonable evaluation on the...

Current IaaS providers offer various pricing options for leasing computing resources.
