Strong decays of the low-lying doubly bottom baryons

In this work, we adopt the $^3P_0$ model to investigate the strong decays of the low-lying doubly bottom baryons in the $j-j$ coupling scheme systematically. In this scheme, we construct the formulism of $^3P_0$ model under the spectator assumption, and then the heavy diquark symmetry is preserved automatically. Our results show that some of the $λ$-mode $Ξ_{bb}(1P)$ and $Ω_{bb}(1P)$ states are narrow, which have good potentials to be observed by future experiments. For the low-lying $ρ$-mode and $ρ$-$λ$ hybrid states, the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-allowed strong decays are highly suppressed and they should be extremely narrow. Future experiments can test our phenomenological predictions at the quark level.
