We study the doubly charmed baryonic B decays $B\to \Xi_{c} \Lambda_{c}$ and $B\to \Lambda^{+}_{c} \Lambda^{-}_{c} K$, recently observed by BELLE. We find that the unexpected large branching ratios (BRs) could be ascribed to the final state…
The total decay widths of the charmed baryons are calculated by means of the $^3P_0$ model. Our calculations consider in the final states: the charmed baryon-(vector/pseudoscalar) meson pairs and the (octet/ decuplet)…
We discuss several new observations of mesons with open charm. In particular, we consider $D_{sJ}(2317)$ and $D_{sJ}(2460)$ and compare their isospin violating decays into $D^{(*)}_s \pi$ to the radiative decays analysed using light-cone…
Using data recorded by the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we report the first observation of a narrow state decaying into $\Xi_c^+\pi^-$. The state has mass difference $M(\Xi_c^+\pi^-)-M(\Xi_c^+)$ of $178.2\pm0.5\pm1.0$ $\rm{MeV/c^2}$, and a…
The single charmed excited $\Xi_c(2930)$ state was discovered many years ago by BABAR collaboration and recently confirmed by Belle experiment. However, both of these experiments, unfortunately, could not fix the quantum numbers of this…
We have systematically calculated the strong decays of the low-lying $\rho$-mode $1P$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi^{'}_{c(b)}$, $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons using the chiral quark model within the $j$-$j$ coupling…
Inspired by the latest experimental progress, we systematically study the OZI-allowed two-body strong decay properties of $1P$-, $1D$-, $2S$- and $2P$-wave $\Lambda_c$ baryons within the $j $-$j$ coupling scheme in the framework of the…
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 $P$…
The LHCb collaboration newly measured the decay rate of doubly charmed baryon $\Xi^{++}_{cc}\to\Xi^{'+}\pi^+$ and a ratio of its branching fraction with respect to that of the decay $\Xi^{++}_{cc}\to\Xi^{+}\pi^+$ is reported as $1.41\pm…
We determine the ground state and first excited state masses of singly and doubly charmed spin 1/2 and 3/2 baryons with positive and negative parity. Configurations with $N_f=2+1$ non-perturbatively improved Wilson-clover fermions were…
We discuss the isospin-breaking mass differences among baryons, with particular attention in the charm sector to the $\Sigma_c^{+}-\Sigma_c^0$, $\Sigma_c^{++}-\Sigma_c^0$, and $\Xi_c^+-\Xi_c^0$ splittings. Simple potential models cannot…
We estimate the branching ratio for the inclusive decays $\Xi_{bbq} \rightarrow {\bar B}_c^{(*)}+X_{c,s,q}$ to be approximately 1%. Our estimate is performed using non-relativistic potential quark model methods that are appropriate if the…
The discovery of $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by the LHCb Collaboration triggers predictions of more doubly charmed baryons. By taking into account both the $P$-wave excitations between the two charm quarks and the scattering of light pseudoscalar…
We examine the invariant mass spectrum of $D^{0}p$ in $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{0}$ decay measured by BABAR and find that through the 2-step processes of $\bar B^0\to {\bf B_c^+}(\to D^{0} p)\bar p$, where ${\bf B_c}$ denotes a charmed baryon…
We use QCD sum rules to study mass spectra of $P$-wave charmed baryons of the $SU(3)$ flavor $\mathbf{6}_F$. We also use light-cone sum rules to study their $S$- and $D$-wave decays into ground-state charmed baryons together with light…
We discuss the isospin-breaking mass differences among baryons, with particular attention in the charm sector to the $\Sigma_c^{+}-\Sigma_c^0$, $\Sigma_c^{++}-\Sigma_c^0$, and $\Xi_c^+-\Xi_c^0$ splittings. Simple potential models cannot…
We report evidence for the charged charmed-strange baryon $\Xi_{c}(2930)^+$ with a signal significance of 3.9$\sigma$ with systematic errors included. The charged $\Xi_{c}(2930)^+$ is found in its decay to $K_{S}^{0} \Lambda_{c}^+$ in the…
The weak decays of a spin-$1/2$ doubly charm baryon (${\cal B}_{cc}$) to a spin-$1/2$ singly charm baryon (${\cal B}_c$) and a light vector meson ($V$) are studied under a phenomenological scheme. The contributions are classified into…
The doubly charmed baryon decay $\Xi_{cc}^{++} \rightarrow \Xi_{c}^{+} \pi^{+}$ is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of $5.9\sigma$, confirming a recent observation of the baryon in the $\Lambda_c^{+} K^{-}…
We systematically study the $S$-wave doubly charmed baryons using the method of QCD sum rules. Our results suggest that the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ recently observed by LHCb can be well identified as the $S$-wave $\Xi_{cc}$ state of $J^P = 1/2^+$.…
