We study electromagnetic mass splittings of charmed baryons. We point out discrepancies among theoretical predictions in non-relativistic potential models. None of them seems supported by experimental data. A new calculation is presented.

We have systematically studied the strong and radiative decays of the low-lying $1P$-wave doubly charmed baryons. Some interesting observations are: (i) The states $\Xi_{cc}^*$ and $\Omega_{cc}^*$ with $J^P=3/2^+$ have a fairly large decay…
Two recently discovered excited charm baryons are studied within the framework of Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory. We interpret these new baryons which lie $308 \MeV$ and $340 \MeV$ above the $\Lambda_c$ as $I=0$ members of a P-wave…
