Abstract: | We analyse the available information on the production and three-body decays of the D(1285) meson in an attempt to establish its relationship to the A1(JPC = 1++) which mounting evidence suggests has a mass and width of 1100 and 250 MeV, respectively. In particular, we demonstrate that the narrow width of the D(20 to 30 MeV) is by no means incompatible with a broad A1 and SU(3) symmetry. Taking due account of the possible existence of a KA meson at 1340 MeV, we predict the decay properties of the ninth member of the nonet (the D') and argue that the E(1420) is not a viable candidate for this state. |
