We carry out a combined study of the isospin-violating decay Ds∗→Dsπ0 and radiative decay Ds∗→Dsγ
Nearby in the stack
in an effective Lagrangian approach by taking into account the corrections from the one-loop transitions. By distinguishing the transition mechanisms of the long-distance interactions through the intermediate meson loops from the short-distance interactions through the
η−π0
mixing at the tree level the isospin-violating decay
Ds∗→Dsπ0
can be well constrained. In our approach the higher order corrections to the isospin-violating effects can involve the intermediate
D(∗)
and
K(∗)
scatterings. We find that the contributions from the destructive interference of intermediate meson loops via
D(∗)0(cuˉ)K(∗)+(usˉ)
and
D(∗)+(cdˉ)K(∗)0(dsˉ)
rescatterings are significant. Within the commonly accepted ultra-violet (UV) cutoff range we obtain the partial decay width
Γ[Ds∗→Dsπ0]=9.92−0.66+0.76eV
. This approach allows us to describe the
Ds∗
radiative decay in the same framework via the vector meson dominance (VMD) model. We demonstrate that both the tree-level and one-loop transitions can be self-consistently determined if we adopt the experimental data for the branching ratio fraction of
Ds∗→Dsπ0
to
Ds∗→Dsγ
. It then leads to a reliable estimate of the total decay width of
Ds∗
, i.e.
Γtotal(Ds∗+)=170−12+13eV
