Ωc\Omega_c excited states within a SU(6)lsf×{\rm SU(6)}_{\rm lsf}\timesHQSS model

We have reviewed the renormalization procedure used in the unitarized coupled-channel model of Phys. Rev. D85 114032 (2012), and its impact in the $C=1$, $S=-2$, and $I=0$ sector, where five $\Omega_c^{(*)}$ states have been recently observed by the LHCb Collaboration. The meson-baryon interactions used in the model are consistent with both chiral and heavy-quark spin symmetries and lead to a successful description of the observed lowest-lying odd parity resonances $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$, and $\Lambda_b(5912)$ and $\Lambda_b(5920)$ resonances. We show that some (probably at least three) of the states observed by LHCb will also have odd parity and spins $J=1/2$ and $J=3/2$, belonging two of them to the same ${\rm SU(6)}_{\rm light-spin-flavor}\times$HQSS multiplets that the latter strangenessless heavy$-\Lambda$ baryons.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 6 tables, published in The European Physical Journal

Coupled channels dynamics in the generation of the Ω(2012)\Omega (2012) resonance

We look into the newly observed $\Omega (2012)$ state from the molecular perspective in which the resonance is generated from the $\bar{K} \Xi^*$, $\eta \Omega$ and $\bar{K} \Xi$ channels. We find that this picture provides a natural explanation of the properties of the $\Omega (2012)$ state. We stress that the molecular nature of the resonance is revealed with a large coupling of the $\Omega (2012)$ to the $\bar{K} \Xi^*$ channel, that can be observed in the $\Omega (2012) \rightarrow \bar{K} \pi \Xi$ decay which is incorporated automatically in our chiral unitary approach via the use of the spectral function of $\Xi^*$ in the evaluation of the $\bar{K} \Xi^*$ loop function.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure

Ξc\Xi_c and Ξb\Xi_b excited states within a SU(6)lsf×{\rm SU(6)}_{\rm lsf}\timesHQSS model

We study odd parity $J=1/2$ and $J=3/2$ $\Xi_c$ resonances using a unitarized coupled-channel framework based on a ${\rm SU(6)}_{\rm lsf}\times$HQSS-extended Weinberg-Tomozawa baryon-meson interaction, while paying a special attention to the renormalization procedure. We predict a large molecular $\Lambda_c \bar K$ component for the $\Xi_c(2790)$ with a dominant $0^-$ light-degree-of-freedom spin configuration. We discuss the differences between the $3/2^-$ $\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Xi_c(2815)$ states, and conclude that they cannot be SU(3) siblings, whereas we predict the existence of other $\Xi_c-$states, two of them related to the two-pole structure of the $\Lambda_c(2595)$. It is of particular interest a pair of $J=1/2$ and $J=3/2$ poles, which form a HQSS doublet and that we tentatively assign to the $\Xi_c(2930)$ and $\Xi_c(2970)$, respectively. Within this picture, the $\Xi_c(2930)$ would be part of a SU(3) sextet, containing either the $\Omega_c(3090)$ or the $\Omega_c(3119)$, and that would be completed by the $\Sigma_c(2800)$. Moreover, we identify a $J=1/2$ sextet with the $\Xi_b(6227)$ state and the recently discovered $\Sigma_b(6097)$. Assuming the equal spacing rule and to complete this multiplet, we predict the existence of a $J=1/2$ $\Omega_b$ odd parity state, with a mass of 6360 MeV and that should be seen in the $\Xi_b \bar K$ channel.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures, 4 table

Description of the Ξc\Xi_c and Ξb\Xi_b states as molecular states

In this work we study several $\Xi_c$ and $\Xi_b$ states dynamically generated from the meson-baryon interaction in coupled channels, using an extension of the local hidden gauge approach in the Bethe-Salpeter equation. These molecular states appear as poles of the scattering amplitudes, and several of them can be identified with the experimentally observed $\Xi_c$ states, including the $\Xi_c(2790)$, $\Xi_c(2930)$, $\Xi_c(2970)$, $\Xi_c(3055)$ and $\Xi_c(3080)$. Also, for the recently reported $\Xi_b(6227)$ state, we find two poles with masses and widths remarkably close to the experimental data, for both the $J^P=1/2^-$ and $J^P=3/2^-$ sectors.Comment: 27 pages, 24 tables, 2 figure
