Mass spectra and transition magnetic moments of low lying charmed baryons in a quark model

Abstract

Excited state mass spectra of the low lying single charmed baryons with non strangeness have been calculated in a hypercentral approach. The six-dimensional hyperradial Schrödinger equation is solved by applying a simple variational method. We extend our scheme to predict the magnetic moments and the 3 2 + → 1 2 + transition magnetic moments of Σc and Λc state baryons. A comparison of our results with the experimental data and predictions obtained in recent models is also presented.
