The newly observed Λ_b(6072)⁰ structure and its rho-mode nonstrange partners

Inspired by the newly observed $\Lambda_b(6072)$ structure, we investigate its strong decay behaviors under various assignments within the $^3P_0$ model. Compared with the mass and total decay width, our results suggest that the $\Lambda_b(6072)$ can be regarded as the lowest $\rho-$mode excitation in $\Lambda_b$ family. Then, the strong decays of $\rho-$mode nonstrange partners for the $\Lambda_b(6072)$ are calculated. It is found that the $J^P=5/2^-$ $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ states are relatively narrow, and mainly decay into the $\Sigma_b^{(*)} \pi$ and $\Sigma_c^{(*)} \pi$ final states, respectively. These two states have good potentials to be observed in future experiments, which may help us to distinguish the three-quark model and diquark model.
