Abstract

In this work we study the radiative decay of dynamically generated $J^P=\oh^-$ charm baryons into the ground state $J^P=\oh^+$ baryons. Since different theoretical interpretations of these baryonic resonances, and in particular of the $\Lambda_c(2595)$, give different predictions, a precise experimental measurement of these decays would be an important step for understanding their nature.
