Abstract

The magnetic moments and radiative decay widths of heavy baryons belong to a class of interesting experimental observables which provide direct information about the dynamics of strong interactions as well as the properties and the composition structures of heavy baryons. In this work, through a diquark model we compute these two quantities for doubly and triply heavy baryons in a dynamical model. We, first, compute an analytical mass equation for heavy diquarks based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation in which the interaction potential between constituents includes the contributions from the Cornell, the Breit-Fermi approximation, the spin-spin terms and the tensor potential. By iterating the mass equation, we compute the masses and the wave functions of heavy baryons. We also compute the magnetic moments and the radiative decay width of double and triple heavy baryons in their ground state. Our results are compared with other model-dependent predictions and existing data. We will also predict the mass and the magnetic moment of unobserved triply heavy baryons relevant for the present and future high energy colliders.
