Study of $P$-wave excitations of observed charmed strange baryons
Many excited charmed strange baryons such as $Ξ_c(2790)$, $Ξ_c(2815)$, $Ξ_c(2930)$, $Ξ_c(2980)$, $Ξ_c(3055)$, $Ξ_c(3080)$ and $Ξ_c(3123)$ have been observed. In order to understand their internal structure and to determine their spin-parities, the strong decay properties of these baryons as possible $P$-wave excited $Ξ_c$ candidates have been systematically studied in a $^3P_0$ model. The configurations and $J^P$ assignments of $Ξ_c(2790)$, $Ξ_c(2815)$, $Ξ_c(2930)$, $Ξ_c(2980)$, $Ξ_c(3055)$, $Ξ_c(3080)$ and $Ξ_c(3123)$ have been explored based on recent experimental data. In our analyses, $Ξ_c(3055)$, $Ξ_c(3080)$ and $Ξ_c(3123)$ seem impossible to be the $P$-wave excited $Ξ_c$. $Ξ_c(2790)$, $Ξ_c(2815)$, $Ξ_c(2930)$ and $Ξ_c(2980)$ may be the $P$-wave excited $Ξ_c$. In particular, $Ξ_c(2790)$ and $Ξ_c(2815)$ are very possibly the $P$-wave excited $Ξ_{c1}(1/2^-)$ and $Ξ_{c1}(3/2^-)$, respectively. $Ξ_c(2980)$ may be the $P$-wave excited $Ξ_{c1}^{'}(\frac{1}{2}^-)$. $Ξ_c(2930)$ may be the $P$-wave $Ξ_{c0}^{'}(\frac{1}{2}^-)$, $\tildeΞ_{c0}(\frac{1}{2}^-)$, $Ξ_{c2}^{'}(\frac{3}{2}^-)$, $Ξ_{c2}^{'}(\frac{5}{2}^-)$, $\tildeΞ_{c2}(\frac{3}{2}^-)$ or $\tildeΞ_{c2}(\frac{5}{2}^-)$. Furthermore, some branching fraction ratios related to the internal structure and quark configuration of $P$-wave $Ξ_c$ have also been computed. Measurements of these ratios in the future will be helpful to understand these excited $Ξ_c$.
