Doubly heavy Baryons from QCD Spectral Sum Rules

Understand

We consider the ratios of doubly heavy baryon masses using Double Ratios of Sum Rules (DRSR), which are more accurate than the usual simple ratios used for getting hadron masses.

• Our results are comparable with the ones from potential models.
• The Xi^*_{QQ}-Xi_{QQ} splittings seem to behave like 1/M_Q and can only allow the electromagnetic decay Xi^*_{QQ} to Xi_{QQ}+gamma but not to Xi_{QQ}+ pi.
• Our results also show that the SU(3) mass-splittings are (almost) independent of the spin of the baryons and behave approximately like 1/M_Q, which could be understood from the QCD expressions of the corresponding two-point correlator.
