The \Xi_Q - \Xi_Q' Mixing and Heavy Baryon Masses

Abstract

We examine the ${\Xi }_Q-{\Xi }_Q^{\prime }$ mixing and heavy baryon masses in the heavy quark effective theory with the $\text{mq}$ corrections. In the conventional baryon assignment, we obtain the mixing angle ${\cos }^2\theta =0.87\pm 0.03$ in virtue of the Gell-Mann-Okubo mass relation. On the other hand, if we adopt the new baryon assignment given by Falk, the allowed region of the ${\Sigma }_c$ mass is upper from 2372 MeV.
