Multiquark contributions to charm baryon spectroscopy

Abstract

We study possible multiquark contributions to the charm baryon spectrum by considering higher order Fock space components. For this purpose we perform two different calculations. In a first approach we do a coupled-channel calculation of the $ND$ system looking for molecular states. In a second step we allow for the coupling to a heavy baryon--light meson two-hadron system looking for compact exotic five--quark structures. Both calculations have been done within the framework of a chiral constituent quark model. The model, tuned in the description of the baryon and meson spectra as well as the $NN$ interaction, provides parameter-free predictions for charm $+1$ molecular or compact two-hadron systems. Unlike the $N\bar{D}$ system, no sharp quark-Pauli effects are found. However, the existence of different two-hadron thresholds for the five-quark system will make the coupled-channel dynamics relevant. Only a few channels are candidates to lodge molecular or compact hadrons with a five-quark structure, being specially relevant the $(T)J^P=(0)1/2^{-}$ and $(T)J^P=(2)5/2^{-}$ channels. The identification of molecular states and/or compact hadrons with multiquark components either with or without exotic quantum numbers is a challenge of different collaborations like $\bar{\mathrm{P}}$ANDA, LHCb, ExHIC or J-PARC.
