Abstract

We investigate the sextet bb-baryon decay processes ΩbJ/ψΩ()\Omega_b\to J/\psi\Omega^{(*)},where Ω\Omega^* represents the 1P1P-, 1D1D- and 2S2S-wave excited Ω\Omega hyperons in the spectroscopy. Using the constituent quark model, we obtain B(ΩbJ/ψΩ)=8.8×104{\cal B}(\Omega_b \to J/\psi\Omega)=8.8\times 10^{-4}, which agrees with the previous studies to the order of magnitude. By identifying Ω(2012)\Omega(2012) as Ω(12P3/2)\Omega(1^2P_{3/2^-}), B(ΩbJ/ψΩ(2012))=1.1×103{\cal B}(\Omega_b \to J/\psi\Omega(2012))=1.1\times 10^{-3} can be similarly significant. Additionally, Ω(12D5/2+)\Omega(1^2D_{5/2^+}) and Ω(14D3/2+,14D5/2+)\Omega(1^4D_{3/2^+},1^4D_{5/2^+}) 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(ΩbJ/ψΩ(22S1/2+,24S3/2+)){\cal B}(\Omega_b\to J/\psi\Omega(2^2S_{1/2^+},2^4S_{3/2^+})) are as large as (4.5,20)×104(4.5,20)\times 10^{-4}, making them accessible to experiments at LHCb.
