Abstract

We study the structure of the Λc(2595)\Lambda_c(2595) and Λc(2625)\Lambda_c(2625) resonances in the framework of an effective field theory consistent with heavy quark spin and chiral symmetries, that incorporates the interplay between Σc()πND()\Sigma_c^{(*)}\pi-ND^{(*)} baryon-meson degrees of freedom and bare P-wave cuˉdc\bar ud quark-model states. We show that these two resonances are not HQSS partners. The JP=3/2J^P= 3/2^- Λc(2625)\Lambda_c(2625) should be viewed mostly as a dressed three quark state, whose origin is determined by a bare state, predicted to lie very close to the mass of the resonance. The JP=1/2J^P= 1/2^- Λc(2595)\Lambda_c(2595) seems to have, however, a predominant molecular structure. This is because, it is either the result of the chiral Σcπ\Sigma_c\pi interaction, which threshold is located much more closer than the mass of the bare three-quark state, or because the light degrees of freedom in its inner structure are coupled to the unnatural 00^- quantum-numbers. We show that both situations can occur depending on the renormalization procedure used. We find some additional states, but the classification of the spectrum in terms of HQSS is difficult, despite having used interactions that respect this symmetry. This is because the bare quark-model state and the Σcπ\Sigma_c\pi threshold are located extraordinarily close to the Λc(2625)\Lambda_c(2625) and Λc(2595)\Lambda_c(2595), respectively, and hence they play totally different roles in each sector.
