Several baryons containing a heavy b-quark, the b-baryons, have been discovered. The charmless two-body decays of b-baryons can provide a new platform for CP violating studies in a similar way as charmless two-body decays of B-meson. In…
The 1/m corrections to heavy baryon masses are calculated from the QCD sum rules within the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. Numerical results for the heavy baryons are obtained. The implications of the results are discussed.

We report on two spectroscopy results from CDF. First, we observe the orbitally excited $B^{**}$ mesons in $B \to \ell D^{(*)}X$ events. We find $28 \pm 6 \pm 3$% of light $B$ mesons produced are $B^{**}$ states. A collective mass fit…
