Abstract
New experimental measurements are used to test model independent sum rules for charmed baryon masses. Sum rules for medium-strong mass differences are found to be reasonably well satisfied with increasing accuracy, and the new measurements permit an improved prediction of MeV for the mass of the . But an isospin breaking sum rule for the mass splittings is still in significant disagreement posing a serious problem for the quark model of charmed baryons. Individual mass splittings are investigated, using the new CLEO measurement of the mass splitting, but the accuracy is not yet sufficient for a good test.
