Molecular charmed baryons and pentaquarks from light-meson exchange saturation

arXiv:2304.14855 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.109.014023

Abstract

The spectrum of the baryons contains a few states whose nature is not clearly a three-quark composite and which might have a sizable baryon-meson component. Examples include the or the . Here we explore the spectrum of two-body systems composed of a light, octet baryon and a charmed meson (or antimeson) within a simple contact-range theory in which the couplings are saturated by light-meson exchanges. This results in the prediction of a series of composite anticharmed pentaquarks () and singly-charmed baryons (). Among the later we find and bound states with masses matching those of the recently observed and baryons.
