We study the production of D sJ (2317) mesons in relativistic heavy ion collisions using the quark coalescence model. The predicted D sJ (2317) abundance depends sensitively on the quark structure of the D sJ (2317) meson. We have also evaluated the absorption cross sections of the D sJ (2317) meson by , , S U kaon and K* in a phenomenological hadronic model. We find that the final yield of D sJ (2317) mesons remains sensitive to its initial number produced from the quark-gluon plasma, providing thus the possibility of studying the quark structure of the D sJ (2317) meson and its production mechanism in relativistic heavy ion collisions.
