چکیده

We present lattice results for the spectrum of mesons containing one heavy quark and of baryons containing one or two heavy quarks. The calculation is done in the quenched approximation using the NRQCD formalism for the heavy quark. We analyze the dependence of the mass splittings on both the heavy and the light quark masses. Meson P -state fine structure and baryon hyperfine splittings are resolved for the first time. We fix the b quark mass using both MB and MΛb , and our best estimate is m b (m MS b ) = 4.35(10)( −3 +2)(10) GeV. The spectrum, obtained by interpolation to mb, is compared with the experimental data. ∗Present address: Spatial Technologies, Boulder, CO, USA.

Baryons Containing a Heavy Quark as Solitons ⋆ ( REVISED

The possibility of interpreting baryons containing a single heavy quark as bound states of solitons (that arise in the nonlinear sigma model) and heavy mesons is explored. Particular attention is paid to the parity of the bound states and to the role of heavy quark symmetry. ⋆ Work supported in part by the U.S. Dept. of Energy under Contract no. DEAC-03-81ER40050 and under grant no. DE-FG03-90E...

Fragmentation production of doubly heavy baryons.

Baryons with a single heavy quark are being studied experimentally at present. Baryons with two units of heavy flavor will be abundantly produced not only at future colliders, but also at existing facilities. In this paper we study the production via heavy quark fragmentation of baryons containing two heavy quarks at the Tevatron, the LHC, HERA, and the NLC. The production rate is woefully smal...

Spectroscopy and Strong Decays of Charmed Baryons

In the past years many new excited charmed baryon states have been discovered by BaBar, Belle and CLEO. In particular, B factories have provided a very rich source of charmed baryons both from B decays and from the continuum ee → cc̄. A new era for the charmed baryon spectroscopy is opened by the rich mass spectrum and the relatively narrow widths of the excited states. Experimentally and theore...

Weak Semileptonic Decays of Heavy Baryons Containing Two Heavy Quarks

In the heavy quark limit a heavy baryon which contains two heavy quarks is believed to be composed of a heavy diquark and a light quark. Based on this picture, we evaluate the weak semileptonic decay rates of such baryons. The transition form factors between two heavy baryons are associated with those between two heavy mesons by applying the super avor symmetry. The e ective vertices of the W-b...

Baryons with two heavy quarks as solitons.

Using the chiral soliton model and heavy quark symmetry we study baryons containing two heavy quarks. If there exists a stable (under strong interactions) meson consisting of two heavy quarks and two light ones, then we find that there always exists a state of this meson bound to a chiral soliton and to a chiral anti-soliton, corresponding to a two heavy quark baryon and a baryon containing two...
