# On the nature of the lowest-lying odd parity charmed baryon $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ resonances

## TL;DR

This paper investigates the internal structure of the $ ext{Lambda}_c(2595)$ and $ ext{Lambda}_c(2625)$ resonances, revealing that one is mainly a three-quark state while the other is predominantly molecular, challenging their classification as heavy quark spin symmetry partners.

## Contribution

It introduces an effective field theory framework that combines baryon-meson interactions with quark-model states, providing new insights into the nature of these charmed baryon resonances.

## Key findings

- $ ext{Lambda}_c(2625)$ is mainly a dressed three-quark state.
- $ ext{Lambda}_c(2595)$ has a predominantly molecular structure.
- Classification of the spectrum in terms of HQSS is complex due to near-threshold effects.

## Abstract

We study the structure of the $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ resonances in the framework of an effective field theory consistent with heavy quark spin and chiral symmetries, that incorporates the interplay between $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\pi-ND^{(*)}$ baryon-meson degrees of freedom and bare P-wave $c\bar ud$ quark-model states. We show that these two resonances are not HQSS partners. The $J^P= 3/2^-$ $\Lambda_c(2625)$ should be viewed mostly as a dressed three quark state, whose origin is determined by a bare state, predicted to lie very close to the mass of the resonance. The $J^P= 1/2^-$ $\Lambda_c(2595)$ seems to have, however, a predominant molecular structure. This is because, it is either the result of the chiral $\Sigma_c\pi$ interaction, which threshold is located much more closer than the mass of the bare three-quark state, or because the light degrees of freedom in its inner structure are coupled to the unnatural $0^-$ quantum-numbers. We show that both situations can occur depending on the renormalization procedure used. We find some additional states, but the classification of the spectrum in terms of HQSS is difficult, despite having used interactions that respect this symmetry. This is because the bare quark-model state and the $\Sigma_c\pi$ threshold are located extraordinarily close to the $\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Lambda_c(2595)$, respectively, and hence they play totally different roles in each sector.
