Charm and bottom baryons in nonperturbative quark dynamics

TL;DR

This paper employs the Field Correlator Method in QCD to calculate the masses of charm and bottom baryons and their excitations, providing theoretical predictions aligned with recent experimental observations.

Contribution

It introduces a nonperturbative QCD approach to accurately compute baryon masses, including newly observed states, advancing understanding of heavy baryon spectroscopy.

Findings

Calculated masses of $oldsymbol{ ext{Σ}_c}$, $oldsymbol{ ext{Ξ}_c}$, $oldsymbol{ ext{Σ}_b}$, $oldsymbol{ ext{Ξ}_b}$ baryons.

Predicted orbital excitations consistent with experimental data.

Enhanced the theoretical framework for heavy baryon mass calculations.

Abstract

We use the Field Correlator Method in QCD to calculate the masses of $\Sigma_c$, $\Xi_c$ and recently observed $\Sigma_b$, $\Xi_b$ baryons and their orbital excitations.
