# The molecular nature of some $\Omega_c^0$ states

## TL;DR

This paper models certain $ ext{Omega}_c^0$ states as meson-baryon molecules using a vector meson exchange approach, successfully matching experimental data and suggesting their quantum numbers.

## Contribution

It introduces a meson-baryon interaction model that explains $ ext{Omega}_c^0$ states as molecular states, aligning theoretical predictions with experimental observations.

## Key findings

- Two resonances match experimental $ ext{Omega}_c$ states
- Resonances interpreted as pseudoscalar meson-baryon molecules
- Supports $J^P=1/2^-$ assignment for these states

## Abstract

A vector meson exchange model based on effective Lagrangians is used to build the meson--baryon interaction in the charm $+1$, strangeness $-2$ and isospin $0$ sector. The s-wave scattering amplitudes resulting from the unitarization in coupled-channels show two resonances with masses and widths that are in very good agreement with those of the experimental $\Omega_c(3050)^0$ and $\Omega_c(3090)^0$ states observed by the LHCb collaboration. The interpretation of these resonances as pseudoscalar meson--baryon molecules would mean the assignment $J^P=1/2^-$ to their spin--parity.
