We investigate the weak decays of the triply heavy baryon $\Omega_{QQQ}$ in the light-front quark model. Since $\Omega_{QQQ}$ consists of three indistinguishable identical heavy quarks, the commonly adopted quark-diquark picture does not…

Simple and plausible rules are used to correlate the masses of the ground-state baryons containing single heavy ($b$ or $c$) quarks. A comparison with the experimental data shows that the observed mass difference between the $\Sigma_b$ and…
