F. Buccella et P. Santorelli, B-DECAYS INTO 2 CHARMED MESONS IN THE ISGUR AND WISE THEORY, Nuovo cimento della Società Italiana di Fisica. A. Nuclei, particles and fields, 107(5), 1994, pp. 743-748
From the experimental branching ratios for the decay BBAR --> D() D(s
)()BAR, evaluated within the Isgur and Wise theory, one gets f(Ds*) =
(246 +/- 47) MeV and f(D)s = (241 +/- 36) MeV in good agreement with
the value f(D)s = (232 +/- 45 +/- 20 +/- +/-48) MeV obtained from the
measured Br(D(s)+ --> mu+ nu(mu)).
