Abstract

We have measured the vector-pseudoscalar mass splitting M(D(s)+) - M( D(s)+) = 144.22 +/- 0.47 +/- 0.37 MeV significantly more precisely tha n the previous world average. We minimize the systematic errors by als o measuring the vector-pseudoscalar mass difference M(D0) - M(D0) usi ng the radiative decay D0 --> D0gamma, obtaining [M(D(s)*+) - M(D(s))] - [M(D0) - M(D0)] = 2.09 +/- 0.47 +/- 0.37 MeV. This is then combi ned with our previous high-precision measurement of M(D0) - M(D0), wh ich used the decay D0 --> D0pi0. We also measure the mass difference M(D(s)+) - M(D+) = 99.5 +/- 0.6 +/- 0.3 MeV, using the phipi+ decay mo des of the D(s)+ and D+ mesons.
