Abstract: (Oxford University Press)
The excitation energies of the Λc\Lambda_{c} and Λb\Lambda_{b} baryons are investigated in a finite-size diquark potential model, in which the heavy baryons are treated as bound states of a charm quark and a scalar–isoscalar diquark. The diquark is considered as a sizable object. The quark–diquark interaction is calculated as a sum of the quark–quark interaction that is assumed to be half of the quark–antiquark interaction for the color singlet. The potential parameters in the quark–antiquark interaction are fixed so as to reproduce the charmonium spectrum. We find the diquark size to be 1.1 fm for the diquark mass 0.5 GeV/c2c^{2} to reproduce the 1p1p excitation energy of Λc\Lambda_{c}. In this model, the Λc\Lambda_{c} and Λb\Lambda_{b} excitation spectra are reproduced well, while this model does not explain Λc(2765)\Lambda_{c}(2765), whose isospin and spin–parity are still unknown. Thus, the detailed properties of Λc(2765)\Lambda_{c}(2765) are very important to the presence of the diquark in heavy baryons as an effective constituent. We also discuss the Ξc\Xi_{c} spectrum with the scalar strange diquark.
