Multibaryons with heavy flavors in the Skyrme model

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical existence of multibaryons with heavy flavors using a topological soliton model, predicting narrow states with specific baryon numbers through an effective Lagrangian approach.

Contribution

It introduces a novel combination of the bound state approach and rational map approximation to study heavy-flavor multibaryons within the Skyrme model.

Findings

Prediction of narrow heavy-flavored multibaryon states with baryon numbers four and seven.

Incorporation of chiral and heavy quark symmetries up to order 1/m_Q.

Use of an effective interaction Lagrangian for consistent modeling.

Abstract

We investigate the possible existence of multibaryons with heavy flavor quantum numbers using the bound state approach to the topological soliton model and the recently proposed approximation for multiskyrmion fields based on rational maps. We use an effective interaction lagrangian which consistently incorporates both chiral symmetry and the heavy quark symmetry including the corrections up to order 1/m_Q. The model predicts some narrow heavy flavored multibaryon states with baryon number four and seven.
