Abstract
We study the recently observed Ω(2012) baryon in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules. We construct the P-wave Ω baryon currents with a covariant derivative, and perform spin projection to obtain the currents with total spin 1/2 and 3/2. We then apply the parity-projected QCD sum rules to separate the contributions of the positive and negative parity states. We extract the masses of JP=1/2− and 3/2− states to be M1/2−=2.07−0.07+0.07 GeV and M3/2−=2.05−0.10+0.09 GeV. Both results are in good agreement with the experimental result. Therefore, it is likely that the Ω(2012) is a negative parity state, which is interpreted as a P-wave excited state in the quark model. However, its spin is not determined in the present analysis, which can be done by detailed study on its decay properties. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
