Isospin splittings of doubly heavy baryons
The SELEX Collaboration has reported a very large isospin splitting of doubly charmed baryons. We show that this effect would imply that the doubly charmed baryons are very compact. One intriguing possibility is that such baryons have a linear geometry Q−q−Q where the light quark q oscillates between the two heavy quarks Q, analogous to a linear molecule such as carbon dioxide. However, using c...
متن کاملDoubly Charmed Baryons in Compass
The search for doubly charmed baryons has been a topic for COMPASS from the beginning. Requiring however a complete spectrometer and highest possible trigger rates this measurement has been postponed. The scenario for such a measurement in the second phase of COMPASS is outlined here. First studies of triggering and simulation of the setup have been performed. New rate estimates based on recent...
متن کاملA 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,...
متن کاملNarrow Tetraquark c c ū d̄ State Exist ?
The existence of a shallow or virtual tetraquark state, c c ū d̄, is discussed. Using the putative masses for the doubly charmed baryons (c c u/c c d) from SELEX, the mass of the c c ū d̄ state is estimated to be about 3.9GeV , only slightly above the DD threshold. The experimental signatures for various c c ū d̄ masses are also discussed. Typeset using REVTEX 1

متن کاملDoubly heavy hadrons and the domain of validity of doubly heavy diquark–anti-quark symmetry
In the limit of heavy quark masses going to infinity, a symmetry is known to emerge in QCD relating properties of hadrons with two heavy quarks to analogous states with one heavy anti-quark. A key question is whether the charm mass is heavy enough so that this symmetry is manifest in at least an approximate manner. The issue is crucial in attempting to understand the recent reports by the SELEX...
