Abstract: | In this study, by combining the equal spacing rule with recent observations of \begin{document}$ \Omega_c(X) $\end{document}![]() and \begin{document}$ \Xi_c(X) $\end{document}![]() baryons, we predict the spectrum of the low-lying \begin{document}$ \lambda $\end{document}![]() -mode \begin{document}$ 1P $\end{document}![]() -wave excited \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c $\end{document}![]() states. Furthermore, their strong decay properties are predicted using the chiral quark model and the nature of \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2800) $\end{document}![]() is investigated by analyzing the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c\pi $\end{document}![]() invariant mass spectrum. The \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2800) $\end{document}![]() structure observed in the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c \pi $\end{document}![]() mass spectrum was found to potentially arise from two overlapping \begin{document}$ P $\end{document}![]() -wave \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c $\end{document}![]() resonances, \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2813)3/2^- $\end{document}![]() and \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2840)5/2^- $\end{document}![]() . These resonances have similar decay widths of \begin{document}$ \Gamma\sim 40 $\end{document}![]() MeV and predominantly decay into the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c \pi $\end{document}![]() channel. The \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2755)1/2^- $\end{document}![]() state is likely to be a very narrow state with a width of \begin{document}$ \Gamma\sim 15 $\end{document}![]() MeV, with its decays almost saturated by the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c \pi $\end{document}![]() channel. Additionally, evidence of the \begin{document}$\Sigma_c(2755) {1}/{2}^-$\end{document}![]() resonance as a very narrow peak may be seen in the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c\pi $\end{document}![]() invariant mass spectrum. The other two \begin{document}$ P $\end{document}![]() -wave states, \begin{document}$\Sigma_c(2746) {1}/{2}^-$\end{document}![]() and \begin{document}$\Sigma_c(2796) {3}/{2}^-$\end{document}![]() , are relatively narrow states with similar widths of \begin{document}$ \Gamma\sim 30 $\end{document}![]() MeV and predominantly decay into \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c\pi $\end{document}![]() and \begin{document}$ \Sigma^{*}_c\pi $\end{document}![]() , respectively. This study can provide useful references for discovering these low-lying \begin{document}$ P $\end{document}![]() -wave states in forthcoming experiments. |
