چکیده

A highly significant structure is observed in the Λ_{c}^{+}K^{-}π^{+}π^{+} mass spectrum, where the Λ_{c}^{+} baryon is reconstructed in the decay mode pK^{-}π^{+}. The structure is consistent with originating from a weakly decaying particle, identified as the doubly charmed baryon Ξ_{cc}^{++}. The difference between the masses of the Ξ_{cc}^{++} and Λ_{c}^{+} states is measured to be 1334.94±0.72(stat.)±0.27(syst.)  MeV/c^{2}, and the Ξ_{cc}^{++} mass is then determined to be 3621.40±0.72(stat.)±0.27(syst.)±0.14(Λ_{c}^{+})  MeV/c^{2}, where the last uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the Λ_{c}^{+} mass. The state is observed in a sample of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.7  fb^{-1}, and confirmed in an additional sample of data collected at 8 TeV.

Hadronic Production of Doubly Charmed Baryons via Charm Excitation in Proton

The production of baryons containing two charmed quarks (Ξ∗cc or Ξcc) in hadronic interactions at high energies and large transverse momenta is considered. It is supposed, that Ξcc-baryon is formed during a non-perturbative fragmentation of the (cc)diquark, which was produced in the hard process of c-quark scattering from the colliding protons: c + c → (cc) + g. It is shown that such mechanism ...

A ug 2 00 5 Confirmation of the Doubly Charmed Baryon Ξ + cc ( 3520 ) via its Decay to pD + K − The SELEX

We observe a signal for the doubly charmed baryon Ξcc in the decay mode Ξ + cc → pDK to complement the previous reported decay Ξcc → Λc Kπ in data from SELEX, the charm hadro-production experiment at Fermilab. In this new decay mode we observe an excess of 5.62 events over a combinatoric background estimated by event mixing to be 1.38 ± 0.13 events. The mixed background has Gaussian statistics,...

Weak Decays of Doubly Heavy Baryons: SU(3) Analysis

Motivated by the recent LHCb observation of doubly-charmed baryon Ξ cc in the Λc K −π+π+ final state, we analyze the weak decays of doubly heavy baryons Ξcc, Ωcc, Ξbc, Ωbc, Ξbb and Ωbb under the flavor SU(3) symmetry. Decay amplitudes for various semileptonic and nonleptonic decays are parametrized in terms of a few SU(3) irreducible amplitudes. We find a number of relations or sum rules betwee...

A Doubly Charming Particle High - precision experiments at CERN find a new baryon containing two charm quarks

T he discovery of new particles, from the Higgs boson to the pentaquark, usually comes highly anticipated, following lengthy experimental campaigns that go after predictions of the standard model of particle physics. These discoveries, however, do much more than validate the standard model. They also deepen our understanding of the fundamental forces that hold subatomic particles together. The ...

Baryon Masses in Lattice QCD with Exact Chiral Symmetry

We investigate the baryon mass spectrum in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. For 100 gauge configurations generated with Wilson gauge action at β = 6.1 on the 20×40 lattice, we compute (point-to-point) quark propagators for 30 quark masses in the range 67 MeV ≤ mq ≤ 1790 MeV. For baryons only composed of strange and charm quarks, their masses are extracted directly from the time ...

How to Search for Doubly Charmed Baryons and Tetraquarks

Possible experimental searches of doubly charmed baryons and tetraquarks at fixed target experiments with high energy hadron beams and a high intensity spectrometer are considered here. The baryons considered are: Ξ+cc (ccd), Ξ cc (ccu), and Ω + cc (ccs); and the tetraquark is T (ccūd̄). Estimates are given of masses, lifetimes, internal structure, production cross sections, decay modes, branchi...
