Abstract

An amplitude analysis of the decay Λ_b ⁰ → D⁰pπ⁻ is performed in the part of the phase space containing resonances in the D⁰p channel. The study is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb⁻¹ of pp collisions recorded by the LHCb experiment. The spectrum of excited Λ_c ⁺ states that decay into D⁰p is studied. The masses, widths and quantum numbers of the Λ_c(2880)⁺ and Λ_c(2940)⁺ resonances are measured. The constraints on the spin and parity for the Λ_c(2940)⁺ state are obtained for the first time. A near-threshold enhancement in the D⁰p amplitude is investigated and found to be consistent with a new resonance, denoted the Λ_c(2860)⁺, of spin 3/2 and positive parity.
