Abstract

In heavy quark limit, the lowest-lying charmed baryons with two light quarks can form an SU(3) triplet and sextet. The Ξc\Xi_c in the SU(3) triplet and Ξc\Xi_c' in the sextet have the same JPCJ^{PC} quantum number and can mix due to the finite charm quark mass and the fact the strange quark is heavier than the up/down quark. We explore the Ξc\Xi_c-Ξc\Xi_c' mixing by calculating the two-point correlation functions of the Ξc\Xi_c and Ξc\Xi_c' baryons from lattice QCD. Based on the lattice data, we adopt two independent methods to determine the mixing angle between Ξc\Xi_c and Ξc\Xi_c'. After making the chiral and continuum extrapolation, it is found that the mixing angle θ\theta is 1.2±0.11.2^{\circ}\pm0.1^{\circ}, which seems insufficient to account for the large SU(3) symmetry breaking effects found in weak decays of charmed baryons.
