Abstract

Two new excited states, Ω_c(3185)⁰ and Ω_c(3327)⁰, are observed in the Ξ_c⁺K^- invariant-mass spectrum using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^-1. Five previously observed excited Ω_c⁰ states are confirmed, namely Ω_c(3000)⁰, Ω_c(3050)⁰, Ω_c(3065)⁰, Ω_c(3090)⁰, and Ω_c(3119)⁰. The masses and widths of these seven states are measured with the highest precision to date.
