Abstract

We investigate charmed hybrid baryons using the QCD sum rule method within the framework of heavy quark effective theory. We construct 28 interpolating currents for charmed hybrid baryons, seven of which are employed in QCD sum rule analyses of 19 states with quark-gluon configurations qqcg, qscg, and sscg (q=u/d). The masses of the lowest-lying charmed hybrid baryons in the SU(3) flavor 6F representation are calculated to be MΣcg(1/2+)=3.36−0.26+0.27  GeV, MΞcg′(1/2+)=3.59±0.20  GeV, and MΩcg(1/2+)=3.82±0.21  GeV. We propose that future experiments search for these states via their P-wave decay channels ND(*), ΛD(*), and ΞD(*), respectively. Such investigations would provide valuable insight into the role of gluonic excitations in hadron structure.
