Abstract:We observe the radiative decay $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{*+} \gamma$ for the first time, with a significance exceeding $10$ standard deviations. The signal is found in the continuum $e^+ e^- \to c\bar{c}$ process with the combined data samples of 980.4~$\rm fb^{-1}$ and 427.9~$\rm fb^{-1}$ collected by the Belle and Belle~II detectors operating at the KEKB and SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, respectively. The branching fraction ratio ${\cal B}(D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{*+} \gamma)/{\cal B}(D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{+} \pi^{0})$ is measured to be $[7.13 \pm 0.70({\rm stat.}) \pm 0.23({\rm syst.})]\%$. This result provides significant new experimental input for the determination of the quark structure of the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+}$, which remains unknown.
