Investigation of $$\varXi _c^0$$ in a chiral quark model

Abstract

AbstractRecently, three new states of $$\varXi _c^0$$ Ξ c 0 were observed in the invariant mass spectrum of $$\varLambda ^+_cK^-$$ Λ c + K - by LHCb collaboration. In this work, we use a chiral quark model to investigate these three exited states with the help of Gaussian expansion method both in three-quark structure and in five-quark structure with all possible quantum numbers $$IJ^P=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2})^-$$ I J P = 1 2 ( 1 2 ) - , $$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{2})^-$$ 1 2 ( 3 2 ) - , $$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{5}{2})^-$$ 1 2 ( 5 2 ) - , $$\frac{3}{2}(\frac{1}{2})^-$$ 3 2 ( 1 2 ) - , $$\frac{3}{2}(\frac{3}{2})^-$$ 3 2 ( 3 2 ) - and $$\frac{3}{2}(\frac{5}{2})^-$$ 3 2 ( 5 2 ) - . The calculations shows that the masses of 2S and 1D states of $$\varXi _c$$ Ξ c are comparable to experimental results; In addition, the resonance states of five-quark configuration are possible candidates of these new states with negative parity by using the real scaling method and their decay width is also given.
