# Regge behaviors in orbitally excited spectroscopy of charmed and bottom baryons

## TL;DR

This paper uses the Regge approach within a heavy quark-diquark model to analyze the spectrum of orbitally excited charmed and bottom baryons, explaining recent discoveries and predicting masses for future experiments.

## Contribution

It applies the Regge relation derived from the rotating QCD string model to describe the mass spectrum of excited baryons and offers new mass predictions for bottom baryons.

## Key findings

- Spin-averaged mass spectrum follows linear Regge trajectories.
- Identifies certain baryons as 1P-wave states with J^P=3/2^-.
- Provides mass predictions for bottom baryons in P- and D-waves.

## Abstract

Stimulated by recent progress made by the LHCb Collaboration in discoveries of new bottom baryons, e.g., the $\Xi _{b}(6227)^{-}$ and the $\Sigma_{b}(6097)^{\pm}$, we re-examine the orbitally excited spectrum of the charmed and bottom baryons using Regge approach in the heavy quark-diquark picture. The results indicate that the spin-averaged mass spectrum of the orbitally-excited charmed and bottom baryons can be described by a linear Regge relation, which is derived from the rotating QCD string model. By giving further mass-splitting analysis of spin-dependent interactions, we explain the baryons $\Xi_{b}(6227)^{-}$ and the $\Sigma_{b}(6097)^{\pm}$,and the $\Sigma _{c}(2800)$ and $\Xi _{c}^{\prime }(2930)$ to be the $1P$%-wave baryons, all with the spin-parity $J^{P}=3/2^{-}$ preferably. Mass prediction of the bottom baryon $\Xi_{b}$ in its P- and D-waves are presented, providing clues for the coming experiments like the LHCb to find them.
