Abstract

For further decoding the inner structure of the two excited Ξb\Xi_b states observed by LHCb, we perform a systematical study of the strong decays of the low-lying 1D1D-wave Ξb\Xi_b and Ξb\Xi_b' excitations using the quark pair creation model within the jjj-j coupling scheme. Combining with the measured masses and decay properties of Ξb(6327)0\Xi_{b}(6327)^{0} and Ξb(6327)0\Xi_{b}(6327)^{0}, the two excited states can be explained as 1D1D λ\lambda-mode Ξb\Xi_b states ΞbJP=32+,2λλ\Xi_{b}|J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{+},2\rangle_{\lambda\lambda} and ΞbJP=52+,2λλ\Xi_{b}|J^{P}=\frac{5}{2}^{+},2\rangle_{\lambda\lambda}, respectively. If such a view were correct, Ξbπ\Xi_b'\pi and Ξbπ\Xi_b'^*\pi could be another interesting channels for experimental exploring of the Ξb(6327)0\Xi_{b}(6327)^{0} and Ξb(6327)0\Xi_{b}(6327)^{0}, respectively. Those calculations are good consistent with the results within the chiral quark model. In addition, for the other missing 1D1D-wave Ξb\Xi_b and Ξb\Xi_b' excitations, our predictions indicate that:(i) the two ρ\rho-mode 1D1D Ξb\Xi_b states are likely to be moderate states with a width of Γ50\Gamma\sim50 MeV. The JP=3/2+J^P=3/2^+ state dominantly decays into ΣbK\Sigma_bK and Ξbπ\Xi_b'\pi, while the JP=5/2+J^P=5/2^+ state decays primarily through ΣbK\Sigma_b^*K and Ξbπ\Xi_b'^*\pi. (ii) The λ\lambda-mode 1D1D Ξb\Xi_b' states may be moderate states with a widths of about several to dozens of MeV. Most of the λ\lambda-mode 1D1D Ξb\Xi_b' states mainly decay into the 1P1P-wave bottomed baryon via the pionic decay processes. Meanwhile, several λ\lambda-mode 1D1D Ξb\Xi_b' states have significant decay rates into ΛB\Lambda B. (iii) While, the ρ\rho-mode 1D1D Ξb\Xi_b' states are predicted to be very broad states with a width of about several hundreds MeV. It will be a great challenge to explore the ρ\rho-mode 1D1D Ξb\Xi_b' states in experiments for their broad widths.
