Invisible Charm Exotica

Abstract

One possible interpretation of two narrow ${\Omega }_c^0$ states reported by the LHCb Collaboration at CERN in 2017 is that they are pentaquarks belonging to a $\overline{15}$ exotic SU(3) representation, as predicted by the Chiral Quark--Soliton Model. If so, there must exist a number of other exotic states since the model predicts three different $\overline{15}$ multiplets of heavy baryons. We show, that depending on the soliton spin $J$, these states are either very narrow or very broad. This explains why they might have escaped experimental observation. Furthermore, we show that the lightest members of these multiplets are stable against two body strong decays.
