Abstract

Recently, scientists have made great progresses in experiments in searching for the excited states of $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ baryons such as the $\Lambda_{b}(6072)$, $\Lambda_{b}(6146)$, $\Lambda_{b}(6152)$, $\Xi_{b}(6227)$, $\Xi_{b}(6100)$, $\Xi_{b}(6327)$ and $\Xi_{b}(6333)$. Stimulated by these progresses, we give a systematical analysis about the $1D$ and $2D$ states of $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ baryons with the method of QCD sum rules. By constructing three types of interpolating currents, we calculate the masses and pole residues of these heavy baryons with different excitation modes $(L_{\rho},L_{\lambda})=(0,2)$, $(2,0)$ and $(1,1)$. As a result, we decode the inner structures of $\Lambda_{b}(6146)$, $\Lambda_{b}(6152)$, $\Xi_{b}(6327)$ and $\Xi_{b}(6333)$, and favor assigning these states as the $1D$ baryons with the quantum numbers $(L_{\rho},L_{\lambda})=(0,2)$ and $\frac{3}{2}^{+}$, $\frac{5}{2}^{+}$, $\frac{3}{2}^{+}$ and $\frac{5}{2}^{+}$, respectively. In addition, the predictions about the masses and pole residues of the other $1D$ and $2D$ states of $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ baryons in this paper are helpful in studying the D-wave bottom baryons in experiments in the future.
