Abstract

The femtoscopic correlation technique in relativistic heavy-ion collisions provides a unique opportunity to investigate hadron-hadron interactions and possible exotic states. In this work, we study the $p\Lambda_c$ correlation function and its sensitivity to the low-energy $N\Lambda_c$ interaction related to possible $^3_{\Lambda_c}\mathrm{H}$ bound states. Based on the quark delocalization color screening model, three interaction scenarios with different strengths are constructed, and the corresponding spin-averaged $p\Lambda_c$ correlation functions are calculated within the Koonin--Pratt formalism. The results demonstrate that the correlation function is sensitive to the $p\Lambda_c$ interaction strength, with coupled-channel effects and $S$-$D$ wave mixing producing additional enhancements in the correlation signal. These findings suggest that future $p\Lambda_c$ femtoscopic measurements at relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments can provide valuable constraints on the interaction between charmed baryons and nucleons and offer guidance for exploring possible heavy-flavor hypernuclei.

Exploring interference between $P_{c \bar c}$ resonances and background in the pion-induced reaction

We present a phenomenological study of the near-threshold $\pi^- p \to J/\psi n$ reaction, focusing on the interference effects between the $s-$channel $P_{c \bar c}$ resonances and non-resonance background. This reaction provides a complementary probe to photoproduction for investigating the nature of the hidden-charm...

$N\Lambda$ interaction from a quark model: $p\Lambda$ femtoscopy and the hypertriton

Understanding the low-energy nucleon--$\Lambda$ interaction is essential for describing hypernuclear structures, while its spin dependence remains insufficiently constrained by experimental data. In this work, we investigate the $N\Lambda$ interaction using the quark delocalization color screening model and explore its...

Radiative decays of the predicted P-wave $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular state: the $0^{-+}$ case

In the present work, we study the radiative decays of the P-wave $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular state $G_0$ with $I^G(J^{PC})=0^+(0^{-+})$ using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach. The molecular coupling is fixed by the compositeness condition with a Gaussian form factor. The partial widths for $G_0\to \gamma\gamma$, $\gam...

Forward $\chi_c$ production in $pp$ and $pA$ collisions within the CGC+NRQCD framework

We study the forward $\chi_{cJ}$ production in the low $p_{\perp}$ region in proton-proton $(pp)$ and proton-nucleus $(pA)$ collisions at the LHC within the framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization and the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) effective field theory. Incorporating the small-$x$ gluonic evolution...

The $\Sigma N$ threshold structure in the $K^-d\to\pi^-\Lambda p$ reaction

The $\Lambda p$ invariant-mass spectrum near the two physical $\Sigma N$ thresholds in the $K^-d\to\pi^-\Lambda p$ reaction is studied as a probe of the low-energy $\Sigma N$ interaction. The reaction is formulated up to two-step processes, and the coupled $\Lambda p$, $\Sigma^+n$, and $\Sigma^0p$ channels are describe...

Observation of $\eta(2600)$ and Threshold Enhancements in the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ System

Using $2712.4 \pm 14.3$ million $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system produced in $\psi(3686)$ radiative decays is studied. A model-independent partial wave analysis reveals a significant threshold enhancement structure dominated by the $^1S_0$ and $^3P_0$ partial wav...
