Experimental review of charm baryon spectroscopy Charmed baryon spectroscopy is an excellent laboratory to study the dynamics of light diquark in the environment of heavy C-quark. Many theoretical predictions and approaches could be tested. History: ARGUS(1993) observed first excited charmed baryon c(2625)+, then CLEO(1993) confirmed it and observed c(2593)+, E687 and ARGUS subsequently confirmed the latter. Next observations came from CLEO: c(2520)+, c(2765)+, c(2880)+. Belle(2005): Observation of first orbital excitation of c : c(2800). Ruslan Chistov (ITEP, Moscow)
Observation of c(2800): Results (PRL 94, 12202 (2005)) Feeddown from c(2880)+ Signal c+sideband Ruslan Chistov (ITEP, Moscow)
Observation of c(2800): Results (PRL 94, 12202 (2005)) Xp spectra of observed resonances p=0.078+0.021-0.017 p=0.095+0.032-0.024 p=0.069+0.015-0.012 Peterson parameters are similar to those for other excited charm baryons in e+e- annihilation at s ~ 10.6 GeV Ruslan Chistov (ITEP, Moscow)
Observation of c(2800): Discussion Theoretical models predict a rich spectrum of excited charmed baryons in the vicinity of the c(2800) [L.A.Copley, N.Isgur and G.Karl, Phys. Rev D 20, 768 (1979)]. One of the candidates is a c2 doublet with JP=3/2- and 5/2- (subscript 2 denotes the total angular momentum of light diquark.) c2 is expected to decay principally intoc+ in D-wave. The predicted mass is close to the measured but the predicted width is only 15 MeV. But the c2 (3/2-) can mix with the nearby c1 (3/2-) which would produce a wider physical state.

Summary (1) Belle observed new type of B decays: B+c0 c+ and B c+ c- K - decays to two charmed baryons These are the bccs transitions that have not been observed previously. The B c+ c- K have prominent Br but small energy release. The Br(B+c0 c+) is presumably 100 times larger than the bcud analog: the B0 c- p decay. The question is to theoretically understand these observations (coherent and unified description of baryonic B decays). (2) NEW Charmed Baryon is observed by Belle: c(2800) (3) Belle measured the 0cand c+ masses with high accuracy Large statistics collected by Belle opens a possibility for study of B->baryons and new charmed baryons understand underlying QCD effects in heavy hadron system.
