Abstract

Using the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we have observed the D_s1(2536)⁺ in the decay modes D_s1⁺→D^*0K⁺ and D^*+K_S⁺, and measured its fragmentation and production ratios. Using the helicity angle distribution of the daugter D^*0, we obtain new evidence for the assignment of 1⁺ for the spin and parity of the D_s1⁺. We also set upper limits on the decays D_s1⁺→D_s^*+λ, D⁰K⁺ and D⁺K_s⁰.
