Spectroscopy of doubly heavy baryons

Abstract

Spectra of masses are calculated for the families of doubly heavy baryons in the framework of nonrelativistic quark model with the QCD potential by Buchmuller--Tye. We suppose the quark-diquark structure for the wave functions and take into account the spin-dependent splittings. The physical reasons causing the existence of quazi-stable excited states in the subsystem of heavy diquark are considered for the heavy quarks of identical flavors.
