The heavy diquark symmetry (HDS) of doubly heavy baryons (DHBs) provides new insights into the spectroscopy of these hadrons. We derive the consequences of this symmetry for the mass spectra and the decay widths of DHBs. We compare these symmetry constraints to results from a nonrelativistic quark model for the mass spectra and results from the 3P0 model for strong decays. The quark model we implement was not constructed with these symmetries and contains interactions which explicitly break HDS. Nevertheless these symmetries emerge. We argue that the 3P0 model and any other model for strong transitions which employs a spectator assumption explicitly respects HDS. We also explore the possibility of treating the strange quark as a heavy quark and apply these ideas to Ξ, Ξc and Ξb baryons.

We discuss the extension of the superflavor symmetry of doubly heavy baryons to states which contain an excited heavy diquark and we examine some of the consequences of this symmetry for the spectra of doubly heavy baryons and heavy mesons. We explore the ramifications of a proposed symmetry that relates heavy diquarks to doubly heavy mesons. We present a method for determining how the excitation energy of a system containing two heavy quarks will scale as one changes the strength of the interactions and the reduced mass of the system. We use this to derive consequences of the heavy diquark-doubly heavy meson symmetry. We compare these consequences to the results of a quark model as well as the experimental data for doubly and singly heavy mesons. We also discuss the possibility of treating the strange quark as a heavy quark and apply the ideas developed here to strange hadrons.

The complete spectrum of [Formula: see text] states is obtained in a phenomenological nonrelativistic quark model (NRQM), which consists of a confinement potential and one gluon exchange potential (OGEP) as effective quark–antiquark potential. We make predictions for the radiative decay (E1 and M1) widths and weak decay widths of [Formula: see text] states in the framework of NRQM formalism.

Using SU(3) and the nonrelativistic quark model, the masses and the strong hadronic decays of heavy baryons are discussed. A number of results for the decay widths are obtained using the present experimental data as input.

Masses and magnetic moments of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] resonances are calculated employing the hyperspherical approach. We extend our scheme to obtain the helicity amplitudes and transition magnetic moments of the [Formula: see text] process. We also compute the radiative decay widths and branching ratios of [Formula: see text] baryons. A comparison of our results with the predictions obtained in recent theoretical models is also presented.

Abstract A singly heavy baryon can be viewed as $N_c-1$ ($N_c$ being the number of colors) light valence quarks bound by the pion mean fields that are created by the presence of the $N_c-1$ valence quarks self-consistently, while the heavy quark inside a singly heavy baryon is regarded as a static color source. We investigate how the pion mean fields are created by the presence of $N_c$, $N_c-1$, and $N_c-2$ light valence quarks, which correspond to the systems of light baryons, singly heavy baryons, and doubly heavy baryons. As the number of colors decreases from $N_c$ to $N_c-1$, the pion mean fields undergo changes. As a result, the valence quark contributions to the moments of inertia of the soliton become larger than for $N_c$ valence quarks, whereas the sea quark contributions decrease systematically. On the other hand, the presence of the $N_c-2$ valence quarks is not enough to produce the strong pion mean fields, which leads to the classical soliton not being formed. This indicates that the pion mean-field approach is not suitable to describe doubly heavy baryons. We show that the mass spectra of the singly heavy baryons are better described by the improved pion mean fields, compared with the previous work in which the pion mean fields are assumed to be intact with $N_c$ varied.
