Probing $NN\Omega_{ccc}$ three-body systems with the modern QCD $N\Omega_{ccc}$ interaction
Abstract
Newly, first-principles lattice QCD results at the physical pion mass, MeV, have been reported by the HAL QCD Collaboration for the S-wave interaction between the nucleon () and the triply charmed Omega baryon (). The potentials in the spin-1 and spin-2 channels were derived and found to be attractive, though no two-body bound state was supported in these channels. The present work investigates the three-body system using the Malfliet-Tjon potential. Analyses of spin-1, spin-averaged, and spin-2 channels (at Euclidean times 16, 17, 18) reveal a three-body bound state only for the d- configuration with spin and . Its binding energy ( MeV) lies slightly below the deuteron's ( MeV). Other parameter sets do not yield a bound state, and complex scaling analysis indicates these configurations correspond to virtual states rather than resonances. The Coulomb potential's role was also examined to differentiate charged states.
