Exotic $\Omega_c^0$ baryons from meson-baryon scattering

Abstract

A meson-baryon interaction in the charm $+1$, strangeness $-2$ and isospin $0$ sector is built from a t-channel vector meson exchange model employing effective Lagrangians. The implementation of coupled-channel unitarization in the s-wave scattering amplitudes gives rise to two structures that have similar masses and widths to those of the $\Omega_c(3050)^0$ and $\Omega_c(3090)^0$ states recently observed by the LHCb collaboration. A meson-baryon molecular interpretation of these resonances would assign their spin-parity to be $J^P=1/2^-$.
