Low-energy constants from charmed baryons on QCD lattices

Abstract

We study the light quark-mass dependence of charmed baryon masses as measured by various QCD lattice collaborations. A global fit to such data based on the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian is reported on. All low-energy constants that are relevant at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N 3 LO) are determined from the lattice data sets where constraints from sum rules as they follow from large-N c QCD at subleading order are considered. The expected hierarchy for the low-energy constants in the 1/N c expansion is confirmed by our global fits to the lattice data. With our results the low-energy interaction of the Goldstone bosons with the charmed baryon ground states is well constrained and the path towards realistic coupled-channel computations in this sector of QCD is prepared.
