Spectrum and Static Properties of Heavy Baryons

Abstract.

Using several realistic interquark potentials, the ground-state energies of all the baryons containing one, two or three heavy quarks of type c or b are studied within a non-relativistic quark model. The three-body problem is rigorously solved using the Faddeev formalism. Various static properties, such as mass radii, charge radii, magnetic moments, and wave functions at the origin are calculated as well. The complete spectrum for all these baryons is computed using a harmonic-oscillator basis with states up to 8 quanta. Emphasis is put on the levels lying below the thresholds corresponding to quark-pair creation.
