Investigation of low-lying Ωb(1P) states in an unquenched coupled-channel framework
Abstract
In this work, we study the unquenched effects on the low-lying Ωb(1P) states with a coupled-channel equations. We reveal how the unquenched effects affect the Ωb(1P) spectroscopy and component mixing. The numerical results indicate that the JP=1/2- Ωb(1P) state dominated by the jℓ=0 configuration exhibits significant coupled-channel effects due to its S-wave coupling to the ΞbK̅ channel, where jℓ denotes the total angular momentum of the light flavor degrees-of-freedom. In this scenario, the mass of this state may be shifted close to or below the ΞbK̅ threshold, making the radiative and isospin-breaking channels kinematically allowed decay processes. The present analysis provides a coupled-channel perspective on the low-lying Ωb(1P) spectrum and offers guidance for future experimental studies of excited bottom baryons.
