Abstract

The reaction e⁺ e^- → (D_s^*+ D_s^- + \rm c.c.) has been used with great success at the CLEO-c detector, and will be a source of valuable future data from the BES-III detector, to obtain information about the properties and decays of the D_s and D_s^*. The angular distributions of the D_s^* and the final-state particles in D_s^* → D_s γ are needed to model the decays properly, to confirm the spin-parity assignment J^P(D_s^*) = 1^-, and to model the acceptance for the rare process D_s^* → D_s e⁺ e^-. This note presents some of the necessary expressions.
