We investigate the sextet b-baryon decay processes Ωb→J/ψΩ(∗),where Ω∗ represents the 1P-, 1D- and 2S-wave excited Ω hyperons in the spectroscopy. Using the constituent quark model, we obtain B(Ωb→J/ψΩ)=8.8×10−4, which agrees with the previous studies to the order of magnitude. By identifying Ω(2012) as Ω(12P3/2−), B(Ωb→J/ψΩ(2012))=1.1×10−3 can be similarly significant. Additionally, Ω(12D5/2+) and Ω(14D3/2+,14D5/2+) states exhibit production rates of 0.5, and (0.6, 0.8), respectively, relative to their ground-state counterpart. Notably, our findings suggest that B(Ωb→J/ψΩ(22S1/2+,24S3/2+)) are as large as (4.5,20)×10−4, making them accessible to experiments at LHCb.
