Possible molecular states from interactions of charmed strange baryons

In this work, we perform an investigation of possible molecular states composed of two charmed strange baryons from the Xi((',& lowast;))(c)Xi((',& lowast;))(c) interaction, and their hidden-charm hidden-strange partners from the Xi((',& lowast;))(c)Xi((',& lowast;))(c) interaction. With the help of the heavy quark chiral effective Lagrangians, the interactions of charmed strange baryons are described with light meson exchanges. The potential kernels are constructed, and inserted into the quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation. The bound states are produced from most interactions considered, which suggests that strong attractions exist widely between the charmed strange baryons. Experimental searching for such molecular states is suggested in future high-precision measurements.

Automated summary

In this work, we investigate the molecular states composed of two charmed strange baryons and their hidden-charm hidden-strange partners. Using the heavy quark chiral effective Lagrangians, we describe the interactions between the charmed strange baryons with light meson exchanges. The potential kernels are constructed and inserted into the quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation. The results suggest the presence of strong attractions between the charmed strange baryons, forming bound states.
