Contribution

It applies a refined bag model to predict heavy baryon masses, extending previous models to include heavy quarks for better spectrum interpretation.

Findings

Predicted masses agree with experimental data

Results align with other theoretical calculations

Model provides a useful tool for heavy hadron analysis

Abstract

Some time ago a slightly improved variant of bag model (the modified bag model) suitable for the unified description of light and heavy hadrons was developed. The main goal of the present work was to calculate the masses of the ground state baryons containing bottom quarks in the framework of this model. For completeness the predictions for other heavy hadrons are also given. The reasonable agreement of our results with other theoretical calculations and available experimental data suggests that our predictions could serve as a useful complementary tool for the interpretation of heavy hadron spectra.
