We report progress on calculations of the heavy-light baryons $\Sigma_c$ and $\Lambda_c$ and their excitations with $J^P = 1/2^+$ using functional methods. We employ a covariant quark-diquark approach, where the interaction amounts to a…
We use a $\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_\text{QCD}/m_c)$ heavy quark effective theory scheme, where only $\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_\text{QCD}/m_b)$ and perturbative QCD short distance corrections are neglected, to study the matrix elements of the scalar,…
We use the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD to analyze the spectrum of positive parity resonances with strangeness $S = 0, -1, -2$ and -3 in the 2--3 GeV mass region, supposed to belong to the $[\textbf{56},4^+]$ multiplet. The mass operator is…
In this article, we study the charmed baryon states $\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Xi_c(2815)$ with the spin-parity ${3\over 2}^-$ by subtracting the contributions from the corresponding charmed baryon states with the spin-parity ${3\over 2}^+$…
A highly significant structure is observed in the $\Lambda_c^+K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ mass spectrum, where the $\Lambda_c^+$ baryon is reconstructed in the decay mode $pK^-\pi^+$. The structure is consistent with originating from a weakly decaying…
We study the $D$-wave charmed baryons of $SU(3)$ flavor $\mathbf{\bar3}_F$ using the method of QCD sum rule in the framework of heavy quark effective theory (HQET). We find that the $\Lambda_c(2880)$, $\Xi_c(3055)$ and $\Xi_c(3080)$ can be…

The recent measurement by CDF M(Sigma_b)-M(Lambda_b)=192 MeV is in striking agreement with our theoretical prediction M(Sigma_b)-M(Lambda_b) = 194 MeV. In addition, the measured splitting M(Sigma_b*)-M(Sigma_b) = 21 MeV agrees well with the…
Stimulated by the observation of a new structure, named $\Lambda_{c}(2910)$, in the $\Sigma_{c}(2455)^{0,++}\pi^{+,-}$ decay channel from B meson decay process by the Belle Collaboration, and the similarity of the…
The chiral partner structure of heavy baryons is studied using the bound state approach by binding the heavy-light mesons to nucleon as soliton in an effective Lagrangian for the pseudoscalar and vector mesons based on the hidden local…
By assuming that the $\Lambda _{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ is a $pD^{\ast 0}$ molecular state with spin-parity $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{+}$ and $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$, the photoproduction of charmed $\Lambda _{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ baryon in the $\gamma…
We report on a comparison of two possible $\Lambda_c^+$ spin hypotheses, $J=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{3}{2}$, via the process $e^+e^-\to\Lambda_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-$, using the angular distributions of $\Lambda_c^+$ decays into $pK_S^0$,…
Using the QCD Sum Rule Method, we estimate the mass of the lowest strange hybrid baryon with $IJ^P=0(1/2)^-$. We find the mass is approximately that of the $\Lambda(1405)$, whose nature has been a puzzle for many decades. Possible tests of…
Motivated by the results of the recent experimental discoveries for charm and bottom baryons, the masses and magnetic moments of the heavy baryons with $J^P=3/2^+$ containing a single heavy quark are studied within light cone QCD sum rules…
The Lambdac(2940)+ baryon with quantum numbers J(P) = 1/2(+) is considered as a molecular state composed of a nucleon and D* meson. We give predictions for the width of the radiative decay process Lambdac(2940)+ to Lambdac(2286)+ gamma in…
We study the charmed and bottomed doubly strange baryons within the heavy-quark-light-diquark framework. The two strange quarks are assumed to lie in $S$ wave and thus their total spin is 1. We calculate the mass spectra of the $S$ and $P$…
A new baryonic state $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ has recently been discovered by the Babar collaboration in the $D^{0}p$ channel. Later Belle collaboration also observed this state in the $\Sigma_c(2455)^{0,++} \pi^{\pm}\to…
$\Lambda^+_c$- and $\Lambda_b$-hypernuclei are studied in the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. Comparisons are made with the results for $\Lambda$-hypernuclei studied in the same model previously. Although the scalar and vector potentials…
