Description
Considering the signals detected at 4.03 and 4.16 GeV as radial excitations of charmonium, we study their relative decay rates into D anti D, D anti D + D anti D, D anti D. We point out that one can understand these two peaks as a c anti c 3S - 2 D wave state system with a large mixing angle in a Coulomb + linear interquark potential. We also examine the possibility that these two signals are respectively 3S and 4S wave excitations by studying a logarithmic charmonium potential model. We show that both these interpretaitons lead to drastically different predictions for the psi (4.16) decay rates (either D anti D + D anti D or D anti D mode is strongly suppressed) which would be very instructive to test experimentally.
