A Heavy Quark Symmetry Approach to Baryons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluate different properties of baryons with a heavy c or b quark. The use of Heavy Quark Symmetry (HQS) provides with an important simplification of the non relativistic three body problem which can be solved by means of a simple variational approach. This scheme is able to reproduce previous results obtained with more involved Faddeev calculations. The resulting wave functions are parametrized in a simple manner, and can be used to calculate further observables.

Light Quark Spin-Flavor Symmetry for Baryons Containing a Heavy Quark in Large N QCD
The couplings and interactions of baryons containing a heavy quark are related by light quark spin-flavor symmetry in the large N limit. The single pion coupling constant which determines all heavy quark baryon-pion couplings is equal to the pion coupling constant for light quark baryons. Light quark symmetry relations amongst the baryon couplings are violated at order 1/N. Heavy quark spin-fla...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Skyrmions
The description of the heavy baryons as heavy-meson–soliton bound systems is reviewed. We outline how such bound systems arise from effective lagrangians that respect both chiral symmetry and heavy quark symmetry. Effects due to finite heavy quark masses are also discussed, and the resulting heavy baryon spectra are compared with existing quark model and empirical results. Finally, we address s...
متن کاملCurrent, Pion and Photon Transitions between Heavy Baryons
I discuss the structure of current-induced bottom baryon to charm baryon transitions, and the structure of pion and photon transitions between heavy charm or bottom baryons in the Heavy Quark Symmetry limit as mQ → ∞. The emphasis is on the structural similarity of the Heavy Quark Symmetry predictions for the three types of transitions. The discussion involves the ground state s-wave heavy bary...
متن کاملMagnetic Moments of Baryons with a Single Heavy Quark
We calculate the magnetic moments of heavy baryons with a single heavy quark in the boundstate approach. In this approach the heavy baryons is considered as a heavy meson bound in the field of a light baryon. The light baryon field is represented as a soliton excitation of the light pseudoscalar and vector meson fields. For these calculations we adopt a model that is both chirally invariant and...
متن کاملCharm and bottom baryon masses in the 1/N expansion
The 1/Nc expansion has proven useful for studying the spin-flavor properties of baryons containing light quarks. A spin-flavor symmetry for baryons is defined in large-Nc QCD. Away from the Nc → ∞ limit, 1/Nc corrections which break large-Nc baryon spin-flavor symmetry can be classified in terms of the spin and flavor symmetries which remain for finite Nc. Since explicit SU(3) flavor symmetry b...
