Spectroscopy of doubly heavy baryons

Abstract

Spectra of masses are calculated for the families of doubly heavy baryons in the framework of the nonrelativistic quark model with the QCD potential of Buchm\"uller and 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 quasistable excited states in the subsystem of heavy diquark are considered for the heavy quarks of identical flavors.
