Hadronic molecular assignment for the newly observed Ω* state

Very recently, a new Ω^* state was reported by the Belle Collaboration, with its mass of 2012.4 ± 0.7 (stat)± 0.6(syst) MeV, which locates just below the KΞ^* threshold and hence hints to be a possible KΞ^* hadronic molecule. Using the effective Lagrangian approach as the same as our previous works for other possible hadronic molecular states, we investigate the decay behavior of this new Ω^* state within the hadronic molecular picture. The results show that the measured decay width can be
