Abstract

A dedicated study of the πΣc\pi\Sigma_c scattering around its threshold is carried out in this work to probe the nature of Λc(2595)+\Lambda_c(2595)^+. We first demonstrate that the effective range expansion approach fails to work near the Λc(2595)+\Lambda_c(2595)^+ pole position, due to the presence of a nearby CDD pole around the πΣc\pi\Sigma_c thresholds. We then develop a general framework to properly handle the situation with a CDD pole accompanied by nearby thresholds, which is first elaborated for the single-channel case and then generalized to the coupled-channel study. The isospin breaking effects of the three πΣc\pi\Sigma_c channels with different thresholds are specially taken into account in our study. The finite-width effects from the Σc\Sigma_c baryons are considered and found to be relevant to give the Λc(2595)+\Lambda_c(2595)^+ width fully compatible to its experimental value. Through the compositeness analysis, our robust conclusion is that the π0Σc+\pi^0\Sigma_c^+ component is subdominant inside the Λc(2595)+\Lambda_c(2595)^+.
