Abstract
Abstract Motivated by the experimental progress in the study of heavy baryons, we investigate the mass spectra of strange single heavy baryons in the λ -mode, using the relativistic quark model and the infinitesimally shifted Gaussian basis function method. We show that experimental results are well captured using the predicted masses. The root mean square radii and radial probability density distributions of the wave functions are analyzed in detail. Meanwhile, the mass spectra allow us to successfully construct the Regge trajectories in the plane. We also preliminarily assign quantum numbers to the recently observed baryons, including , , , , , , , , , , , and . Finally, the spectral structure of strange single heavy baryons is discussed. Accordingly, we predict several new baryons that may be observed in forthcoming experiments.
