Magnetic moment of the Ξb (6227) as a molecular pentaquark state

Abstract

In this study, considering that the Xi(b) (6227) state is in molecular structure, the magnetic moment of this state is extracted in the light-cone QCD sum rules. The numerical result is obtained as mu(Xi b) = 0.1210.03 mu(N). The magnetic moment of this state contains important information of its internal structure and shape deformations. Measurement of the magnetic moment of the Xi(b) (6227) state in future experimental facilities can be very helpful in identification of the quantum numbers, as well as comprehension of the inner structure of this state.
