Isospin mass splittings of heavy baryons in HQS

Abstract

In this paper, the electromagnetic mass differences of heavy hadrons are discussed, while ignoring the relevant hyperfine interactions. The effects of one-photon exchange interaction and up-down quark mass difference are parameterized. Two mass difference equations 2\Sigma_c^+ - (\Sigma_c^{++} + \Sigma_c^0) = 2\Sigma_b^0 - (\Sigma_b^+ + \Sigma_b^-) and (\Xi_{cc}^+ - \Xi_{cc}^{++}) + (\Xi_{bb}^- - \Xi_{bb}^{0}) =2(\Xi_{bc}^0 - \Xi_{bc}^{+}) for the heavy baryons are obtained. In addition, the masses of \Sigma_b^0, \Xi_b^0, and \Xi_{cc}^{++} are predicted based on the known experimental data.
