We investigate the recently observed $\Omega(2012)$ baryon using QCD sum rules. By constructing $P$-wave $\Omega$ baryon currents and performing spin projection and parity projection, we obtain the masses of the $J^P = 1/2^-$ and $3/2^-$…

Baryons with one or more heavy quarks have been shown, in the context of a nonrelativistic description, to exhibit mass inequalities under permutations of their quarks, when spin averages are taken. These inequalities sometimes are…
