Abstract

The LHCb Experiment at CERN has observed a doubly-charmed baryon Ξcc++=ccu\Xi_{cc}^{++} =ccu with a mass of 3621.40±0.783621.40 \pm 0.78 MeV, consistent with many predictions. We use the same methods that led us to predict M(Ξcc, JP=1/2+)=3627±12M(\Xi_{cc},~J^P{=}1/2^+) = 3627 \pm 12 MeV and M(Ξcc, JP=3/2+)=3690±12M(\Xi_{cc}^*,~J^P{=}3/2^+) = 3690 \pm 12 MeV to predict M(Ωcc+,JP=1/2+)=3692±16M(\Omega_{cc}^+,J^P{=}1/2^+) = 3692 \pm 16 MeV and M(Ωcc, JP=3/2+)=3756±16M(\Omega_{cc}^*,~J^P{=} 3/2^+) = 3756 \pm 16 MeV. Production and decay are discussed briefly, and predictions for M(Ωbc)M(\Omega_{bc}) and M(Ωbb)M(\Omega_{bb}) are included.
