Study of the resonance contributions in the $\Xi_{b}^{-} \rightarrow pK^{-}K^{-}$ decay

The decay process $\Xi_{b}^{-} \rightarrow pK^{-}K^{-}$ is studied with the final state interaction approach by considering the contributions from the $S$-wave meson-baryon interactions, and also the intermediate state $\Lambda(1520)$ in the $D$-wave. The low-lying resonances $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\Lambda(1670)$ have significant contributions, which are both dynamically generated from the $S$-wave final state interactions with isospin $I=0$. Furthermore, the $\Lambda(1520)$ state also has important contributions from $D$-wave. With these resonances contributions, the experimental data of the lower $pK^{-}$ invariant mass distributions are well described. We also discuss the contribution of another resonance in the $S$-wave with isospoin $I=1$, which cannot be ignored. Moreover, some of the branching fractions obtained for the corresponding decay channels are consistent with the experimental measurements.
