Abstract

The LHCb Collaboration recently observed five narrow Ωc0\Omega_c^{0} resonances, and measured their masses and widths through the decays Ωc0Ξc+K \Omega_c^{0} \to \Xi_c^{+}K^{-}. Motivated by this discovery, and also by the fact that the ground-state bottom baryon Ωb\Omega_b^{-} with spin-1/2 was already found experimentally, we perform theoretical investigation of the spin-1/2 and spin-3/2, Ωb\Omega_b, baryons by calculating decay width of their first orbitally and radially excited states to Ξb0K\Xi_b^{0} K^{-}. For this purpose, we employ QCD sum rule method on the light-cone by including into analysis the KK meson distribution amplitudes up to twist-4. Obtained analytical expressions are utilized to extract parameters of these decay processes which may be useful for forthcoming experimental studies of bottom baryons.
