Abstract

In this study, considering that the $\Xi_b (6227)$ state is in molecular structure, the magnetic moment of this state is extracted in the light-cone QCD sum rules. The numerical result is obtained as $\mu_{\Xi_b}= 0.12 \pm 0.03~\mu_N$. The magnetic moment of this state contains important information of its internal structure and shape deformations. Measurement of the magnetic moment of the $\Xi_b(6227)$ state in future experimental facilities can be very helpful in identification of the quantum numbers, as well as comprehension of the inner structure of this state.
