Strong decays of low-lying $D$-wave $\Xi_b/\Xi_b'$ baryons with QPC model
Abstract
For further decoding the inner structure of the two excited states observed by LHCb, we perform a systematical study of the strong decays of the low-lying -wave and excitations using the quark pair creation model within the coupling scheme. Combining with the measured masses and decay properties of and , the two excited states can be explained as -mode states and , respectively. If such a view were correct, and could be another interesting channels for experimental exploring of the and , respectively. Those calculations are good consistent with the results within the chiral quark model. In addition, for the other missing -wave and excitations, our predictions indicate that:(i) the two -mode states are likely to be moderate states with a width of MeV. The state dominantly decays into and , while the state decays primarily through and . (ii) The -mode states may be moderate states with a widths of about several to dozens of MeV. Most of the -mode states mainly decay into the -wave bottomed baryon via the pionic decay processes. Meanwhile, several -mode states have significant decay rates into . (iii) While, the -mode 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 -mode states in experiments for their broad widths.
