Abstract

We evaluate the ΛcΣcπ\Lambda_c\Sigma_c\pi coupling constant (GΛcΣcπG_{\Lambda_c \Sigma_c \pi}) and the width of the strong decay ΣcΛcπ\Sigma_c \rightarrow\Lambda_c \pi in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD on four different ensembles with pion masses ranging from 700 MeV to 300 MeV. We find GΛcΣcπ=18.332(1.476)stat.(2.171)syst.G_{\Lambda_c \Sigma_c \pi}=18.332(1.476)_{\rm{stat.}}(2.171)_{\rm{syst.}} and the decay width Γ(ΣcΛcπ)=1.65(28)stat.(30)syst.\Gamma(\Sigma_c \rightarrow\Lambda_c \pi)=1.65(28)_{\rm{stat.}}(30)_{\rm{syst.}}~MeV on the physical quark-mass point, which is in agreement with the recent experimental determination.
