The Charm and Bottom Hyperons in a Chiral Quark Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

The spectrum of the C=1 hyperons is well described by the constituent quark model, if the fine structure interaction between the light and strange quarks is mediated by the SU(3)FSU(3)_F octet of light pseudoscalar mesons, which are the Goldstone bosons of the hidden approximate chiral symmetry of QCD. With the addition of a phenomenological flavor exchange interaction of the same form between the light and the charm quarks to describe the ΣcΣc\Sigma_c-\Sigma_c^* and ΞcsΞc\Xi_c^s-\Xi_c^* splittings, the splittings between the C=1 states fall within 10-30 MeV of the empirical values. Predictions are presented for the lowest negative parity excited states and the magnetic moments as well. Corresponding predictions for the B=-1 hyperon states are also given.
