Abstract

In this work, we study the properties of single-flavor heavy baryons, Ωccc\Omega_{\rm ccc} and Ωbbb\Omega_{\rm bbb}, in a strong magnetic field. For that sake, we simply treat the baryons as quark-diquark two-body systems, and a systematic formalism is developed to deal with two-body Schro¨\ddot{\text o}dinger equations in a magnetic field. It is found that: 1. The orbital properties of Ωbbb\Omega_{\rm bbb} are almost not affected by the magnetic field. 2. Ωccc\Omega_{\rm ccc} is more tightly bound in the presence of a magnetic field. 3. The magnetic-spin effect dominates over the magnetic-orbital effect. Applying to peripheral heavy ion collisions, Ωccc\Omega_{\rm ccc} is much better than Ωbbb\Omega_{\rm bbb} to explore the magnetic effect, and the discovery of Ωccc\Omega_{\rm ccc} could be more promising.
