Introduction to Charm Baryons at Belle 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). This year recent results from Belle include also *observation of new charm baryons in c+ K- +andc+ K0S - final states *and study of excited states c(2645) Ruslan Chistov (ITEP, Moscow) Charm Baryon Spectroscopy at Belle Charm 2006

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.
