New $Ω_c^0$ baryons discovered by LHCb as the members of $1P$ and $2S$ states
Abstract: Inspired by the newly observed $\Omega_c0$ states at LHCb, we decode their properties by performing an analysis of mass spectrum and decay behavior. Our studies show that the five narrow states, i.e., $\Omega_c(3000)0$, $\Omega_c(3050)0$, $\Omega_c(3066)0$, $\Omega_c(3090)0$, and $\Omega_c(3119)0$, could be grouped into the $1P$ states with negative parity. Among them, the $\Omega_c(3000)0$ and $\Omega_c(3090)0$ states could be the $JP=1/2-$ candidates, while $\Omega_c(3050)0$ and $\Omega_c(3119)0$ are suggested as the $JP=3/2-$ states. $\Omega_c(3066)0$ could be regarded as a $JP=5/2-$ state. Since the the spin-parity, the electromagnetic transitions, and the possible hadronic decay channels $\Omega_c{(\ast)}\pi$ have not been measured yet, other explanations are also probable for these narrow $\Omega_c0$ states. Additionally, we discuss the possibility of the broad structure $\Omega_c(3188)0$ as a $2S$ state with $JP=1/2+$ or $JP=3/2+$. In our scheme, $\Omega_c(3119)0$ cannot be a $2S$ candidate.
