Combined large-$N_c$ and heavy-quark operator analysis of 2-body meson-baryon counterterms in the chiral Lagrangian with charmed mesons


Abstract in English

The chiral SU(3) Lagrangian with pseudoscalar and vector $D$ mesons and with the octet and decuplet baryons is considered. The leading two-body counter terms involving two baryon fields and two $D$ meson fields are constructed in the open-charm sector. There are 26 terms. A combined expansion in the inverse of the charm quark mass and in the inverse of the number of colors provides sum rules that reduce the number of free parameter down to 5 only. Our result shows the feasibility of a systematic computation of the open-charm baryon spectrum based on coupled-channel dynamics.
