On a possibility of exotic heavy baryons

Abstract

Triggered by a recent announcement by the LHCb Collaboration of five excited Ωc0\Omega^0_c resonances of small widths we propose an interpretation based on the Chiral Quark Soliton Model. We argue that three of the LHCb resonances are parity (-) excitations of the ground state SU(3) sextets, while the other two with the smallest widths are exotic pentaquarks that belong to the SU(3) 15\overline{\mathbf{15}}. We first briefly review the model and discuss the status of the putative Θ+(1540)\Theta^+(1540). Next we show how to generalize the model to the case of heavy baryons. We test this approach against the ground state 3\overline{\mathbf{3}} and 6{\mathbf{6}} heavy baryons, and discuss different excitations that are possible in the Chiral Quark Soliton Model. We show that the model accommodates two excited 3\overline{\mathbf{3}} in the charm sector that are experimentally observed. Finally we discuss possible assignments of the LHCb Ωc0\Omega^0_c states.
