The charmed baryon was first observed experimentally in 1975, one year after the charm quark's confirmation via the discovery of the $J/\psi$ particle. Studying charmed baryon decays provides a pathway to investigate both strong and weak…
This paper aims to give further evidence for the existence of low mass exotic baryons. Narrow structures in baryonic missing mass or baryonic invariant mass were observed during the last twelve years. Since their evidence is still under…
We present the results of a calculation of the positive-parity ground-state charmed-baryon spectrum using 2+1+1 flavors of dynamical quarks. The calculation uses a relativistic heavy-quark action for the valence charm quark, clover-Wilson…
Recently observed exotic baryon resonance with positive strangeness is discussed. The chiral soliton model, which allowed to predict the mass and width of this state, predicts also a number of other exotic states, strange and non-strange,…
Baryon form factors can be analyzed in a largely model-independent fashion in terms of two complementary approaches. These are chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I review the status of dispersive calculations of the…
About 120 baryons and baryon resonances are known, from the abundant nucleon with $u$ and $d$ light-quark constituents up to the recently discovered $\Omega_b^-=bss$, and the $\Xi_b^-=bsd$ which contains one quark of each generation. In…
This paper focuses on disagreement between theoretical predictions and experimental results of the production properties of Doubly Charmed Baryons. The kinematic dependencies were used to clarify the discrepancy between the SELEX data and…
In quark potential models the hyperfine splitting of P-wave mesons is zero in the nonrelativistic limit, a prediction strikingly confirmed by experiment in both charmonia and bottomonia. The result, however, ignores the coupling of bare…
Phenomenological applications of an effective theory of low-lying excited states of charm and bottom isoscalar baryons are discussed at leading and next-to-leading order in the combined heavy quark and large $N_c$ expansion. The combined…
We study the decuplet baryon magnetic moments in a QCD-based quark model beyond quenched approximation. Our approach for unquenching the theory is based on the heavy baryon perturbation theory in which the axial couplings for baryon - meson…
We report on a calculation of higher electromagnetic multipole moments of baryons in a non-covariant quark model approach. The employed method is based on the underlying spin-flavor symmetry of the strong interaction and its breaking.We…
We present the ground and excited state spectra of singly, doubly and triply charmed baryons by using dynamical lattice QCD. A large set of baryonic operators that respect the symmetries of the lattice and are obtained after subduction from…
By an unquenched quark model, we predict a charmed-strange baryon state, namely, the $\Omega_{c0}^d(1P,1/2^-)$. Its mass is predicted to be 2945 MeV, which is below the $\Xi_c\bar{K}$ threshold due to the nontrivial coupled-channel effect.…
This is an update of the two articles (H.Y. Cheng, 2009; Cheng, 2015) in which charmed baryon physics around 2007 and 2015, respectively, were reviewed. In this review we emphasize the experimental progress and the theoretical development…
A massless dark photon could affect standard-model particles only via higher-dimensional operators and would therefore have eluded recent searches for its massive counterpart, which were based on the assumption that the latter had…
We study the isospin symmetry breaking and mass splittings of the eight lowest-lying baryons. We consider three kinds of baryon mass terms, including the bare mass term, the electromagnetic terms and the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking…
Using a high statistics sample of photoproduced charmed particles from the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab (FNAL-E831), we measure the mass splittings of the charmed baryons Sigma_c^0 and Sigma_c^{++}. We find M(Sigma_c^0 - Lambda_c^+) =…
The orbitally excited heavy quark baryons are studied in the Callan Klebanov bound state model with heavy spin symmetry. First, a compact description of the large $N_c$, infinite heavy quark mass bound state wavefunctions and the collective…
Consideration of the analytical properties of pion-induced baryon self-energies leads to new functional forms for the extrapolation of light baryon masses. These functional forms reproduce the leading non-analytic behavior of chiral…
The mass spectrum of different meson particles is generated using an effective Lagrangian of the extended linear-sigma model (eLSM) for scalar and pseudoscalar meson fields and quark flavors, up, down, strange, and charm. Analytical…
