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 SS wave and thus their total spin is 1. We calculate the mass spectra of the SS and PP wave orbitally excited states and find the Ωc0(2695)\Omega_c^0 (2695) and Ωc0(2770)\Omega_c^0 (2770) fit well as the SS wave states of charmed doubly strange baryons. The five newly Ωc0(X)\Omega_c^0(X) resonances observed by the LHCb Collaboration, i.e. Ωc0(3000)\Omega_c^0(3000), Ωc0(3050)\Omega_c^0(3050), Ωc0(3066)\Omega_c^0(3066), Ωc0(3090)\Omega_c^0(3090), and Ωc0(3119)\Omega_c^0(3119), can be interpreted as the PP wave orbitally excited states. In heavy quark effective theory, we analyze their decays into the Ξc+K\Xi^+_c K^- and Ξc+K\Xi_c'^+ K^-, and point out that decays of the five P-wave Ωc0\Omega_c^0 states into the Ξc+K\Xi_c^+ K^- and Ξc+K\Xi_c'^+K^- are suppressed by either heavy quark symmetry or phase space. The narrowness of the five newly observed Ωc0(X)\Omega_c^0(X) states can then be naturally interpreted with heavy quark symmetry.
