Abstract

The isotriplet Sigma(c)(2800) baryon with possible quantum numbers J(P) = 1/2(+/-) or 3/2(+/-) is considered as a hadronic molecule composed of a nucleon and a D meson. We determine the strong two-body decay widths Sigma(c) -> Lambda(c)pi which are shown to be consistent with current data for the J(P) = 1/2(+) and J(P) = 3/2(-) assignments.
