Experimental evidence for heavy baryon states

Decay patterns involving baryon-antibaryon pairs

Potential for discovering exotic heavy baryons

Abstract

Two topics are briefly reviewed in this talk: the decay of flavored hadrons or quarkonium states involving a baryon--antibaryon pair, and the spectroscopy of heavy baryons containing one, two or three heavy quarks. Some prospects for exotic heavy baryons are also discussed.
