Newly observed $Λ_c(2860)^+$ at LHCb and its \emph{D}-wave partners $Λ_c(2880)^+$, $Ξ_c(3055)^+$ and $Ξ_c(3080)^+$
Abstract: New resonance $\Lambda_c(2860)+$, reported by LHCb, is a key to establish \emph{D}-wave charmed and charmed-strange baryon families. In this work, we first carry out an analysis of mass spectra of the $\lambda$-mode excited charmed and charmed-strange baryon states, which may reveal the relation of $\Lambda_c(2860)+$, $\Lambda_c(2880)+$, $\Xi_c(3055)+$ and $\Xi_c(3080)+$, $i.e.$, $\Lambda_c(2860)+$ and $\Lambda_c(2880)+$ can form a \emph{D}-wave doublet $[3/2+,5/2+]$ while $\Xi_c(3055)+$ and $\Xi_c(3080)+$ are the strange partners of $\Lambda_c(2860)+$ and $\Lambda_c(2880)+$, respectively. Further study of their two-body Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-allowed decays supports $\Lambda_c(2860)+$ and $\Xi_c(3055)+$ as the \emph{D}-wave charmed and charmed-strange baryons, respectively, with $JP=3/2+$. For $\Lambda_c(2880)+$ and $\Xi_c(3080)+$, however, there exist some difficulties under the \emph{D}-wave assignment with $JP=5/2+$ since the experimental widths and some ratios of partial width of $\Lambda_c(2880)+$ and $\Xi_c(3080)+$ cannot be reproduced in our calculation.
