abstract
Inspired by the newly observed $D_{sJ}(3040)^+$ state, in this work we systemically study the two-body strong decays of P-wave charmed-strange mesons with the first radial excitation. Under the assignment of $1^{+}(j^P=1/2^+)$, i.e. the first radial excitation of $D_{s1}(2460)^+$, we find that the width of $D_{sJ}(3040)^+$ is close to the lower limit of the BaBar measurement. This indicates that it is reasonable to interpret $D_{sJ}(3040)^+$ as the first radial excitation of $D_{s1}(2460)^+$. Our calculation further predicts that $0^-+1^-$ channels e.g. $D^+K^{*0}$, $D^0 K^{*+}$ and $D_s^+\phi$ are important for the search for $D_{sJ}(3040)^+$. To help future experiments finding the remaining three P-wave charmed-strange mesons with the first radial excitation, we present the predictions for the strong decays of these three P-wave charmed-strange mesons.

Higher excited charmed and charmed-strange mesons in an unquenched quark model
Unquenched quark model calculations show coupled-channel effects lower masses of higher D and Ds excitations; D_s1(2933) is assigned as mixed D_s(2P1), D_sJ(3040) favors D_s(3^1S0), while D(3000) fits none of the 3S/2P/2D/1F states.

Comparing relativistic and non-relativistic quark pair creation models
Relativistic and non-relativistic QPC models produce strong decay width predictions of similar overall quality for light mesons, with the relativistic version exhibiting stronger suppression at high energies.
