Abstract

New resonance Λc(2860)+\Lambda_c(2860)^+, reported by LHCb, is a key to establish \emph{D}-wave charmed and charmed-strange baryon families. In this work, we first carry out an analysis of mass spectra of the λ\lambda-mode excited charmed and charmed-strange baryon states, which may reveal the relation of Λc(2860)+\Lambda_c(2860)^+, Λc(2880)+\Lambda_c(2880)^+, Ξc(3055)+\Xi_c(3055)^+ and Ξc(3080)+\Xi_c(3080)^+, i.e.i.e., Λc(2860)+\Lambda_c(2860)^+ and Λc(2880)+\Lambda_c(2880)^+ can form a \emph{D}-wave doublet [3/2+,5/2+][3/2^+,5/2^+] while Ξc(3055)+\Xi_c(3055)^+ and Ξc(3080)+\Xi_c(3080)^+ are the strange partners of Λc(2860)+\Lambda_c(2860)^+ and Λc(2880)+\Lambda_c(2880)^+, respectively. Further study of their two-body Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-allowed decays supports Λc(2860)+\Lambda_c(2860)^+ and Ξc(3055)+\Xi_c(3055)^+ as the \emph{D}-wave charmed and charmed-strange baryons, respectively, with JP=3/2+J^P=3/2^+. For Λc(2880)+\Lambda_c(2880)^+ and Ξc(3080)+\Xi_c(3080)^+, however, there exist some difficulties under the \emph{D}-wave assignment with JP=5/2+J^P=5/2^+ since the experimental widths and some ratios of partial width of Λc(2880)+\Lambda_c(2880)^+ and Ξc(3080)+\Xi_c(3080)^+ cannot be reproduced in our calculation.
