Abstract

Motivated by the observations of $T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^0$ and $T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++}$, we propose to search for $\tcsbar^0$ in the cleaner process $B^- \to K^- D^0 K^0$. In the $D^*K^*$ molecular picture, our estimates suggest that $T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^0$ should contribute significantly to the $D^0 K^0$ invariant mass distribution in $B^- \to K^- D^0 K^0$, as reported by the Belle II Collaboration. The corresponding fit fraction is estimated to be $(9.72\pm 3.92)\%$ or $(7.09\pm 5.88)\%$ in different fitting schemes. Further precise measurements of this process at Belle II and LHCb could be helpful for clarifying the nature of $T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)$.
