Based on the relativistic quark model and infinitesimally shifted Gaussian basis function method, we investigate mass spectra of double bottom baryons systematically. In $\rho$-mode which appears lower in energy than other excited modes, obtain allowed quantum states perform a systematic study $\Xi_{bb}$ $\Omega_{bb}$ families. We analyze root mean square radii radial probability density distri...
