Interpretation of the newly observed $\Omega_c^0$ resonances
Abstract
We study the charmed and bottomed doubly strange baryons within the heavy-quark-light-diquark framework. The two strange quarks are assumed to lie in wave and thus their total spin is 1. We calculate the mass spectra of the and wave orbitally excited states and find the and fit well as the wave states of charmed doubly strange baryons. The five newly resonances observed by the LHCb Collaboration, i.e. , , , , and , can be interpreted as the wave orbitally excited states. In heavy quark effective theory, we analyze their decays into the and , and point out that decays of the five P-wave states into the and are suppressed by either heavy quark symmetry or phase space. The narrowness of the five newly observed states can then be naturally interpreted with heavy quark symmetry.
