Ξ (1690) as a K- Σ molecular state

Abstract

We show that a $\Xi ^{\ast}$ pole can be dynamically generated near the $\bar{K} \Sigma$ threshold as an $s$-wave $\bar{K} \Sigma$ molecular state in a coupled-channels unitary approach with the leading-order chiral interaction. This $\Xi ^{\ast}$ state can be identified with the $\Xi (1690)$ resonance with $J^{P} = 1/2^{-}$. We find that the experimental $\bar{K}^{0} \Lambda$ and $K^{-} \Sigma ^{+}$ mass spectra are qualitatively reproduced with the $\Xi ^{\ast}$ state. Moreover we theoretically investigate properties of the dynamically generated $\Xi ^{\ast}$ state.
