Identification of the newly observed Sigma_b(6097)^pm baryons from their strong decays

Two bottom $\Sigma_b(6097)^\pm$ baryons were observed in the final states $\Lambda_b^0\pi^-$ and $\Lambda_b^0\pi^+$ in $pp$ collision by LHCb collaboration, whose masses and widths were measured. In a $^{3}P_{0}$ model, the strong decay widths of two ground $S$-wave and seven excited $P$-wave $\Sigma_b$ baryons have been systematically computed. Numerical results indicate that the newly observed $\Sigma_b(6097)^\pm$ are very possibly $\Sigma_{b2}^1({3\over 2}^-)$ with $J^P={3\over 2}^-$ or $\Sigma_{b2}^1({5\over 2}^-)$ with $J^P={5\over 2}^-$. The predicted decay widths of $\Sigma_b(6097)^\pm$ are consistent with experimental measurement from LHCb. In particular, it may be possible to distinguish these two assignments through ratios $\Gamma({\Sigma_b(6097)^\pm\to \Sigma_b^\pm\pi^0})/\Gamma({\Sigma_b(6097)^\pm\to \Sigma_b^{*\pm}\pi^0})$, which can be measured by experiments in the future. In the meantime, our results support the assignments that $\Sigma_b^\pm$ and $\Sigma_b^{*\pm}$ are the ground $S$-wave $\Sigma_b$ baryons with $J^P={1\over 2}^+$ and $J^P={3\over 2}^+$, respectively.
