Using pp collision data corresponding to 1.0 fb-1 integrated luminosity collected by the LHCb detector, two narrow states are observed in the Lambda_b0pi+pi- spectrum with masses 5911.97 +- 0.12(stat) +- 0.02(syst) +- 0.66(Lambda_b0 mass) MeV/c^2 and 5919.77 +- 0.08(stat) +- 0.02(syst) +- 0.66(Lambda_b0 mass) MeV/c^2. The significances of the observations are 5.2 and 10.2 standard deviations, respectively. These states are interpreted as the orbitally-excited Lambda_b0 baryons, Lambda_b*0(5912) and Lambda_b*0(5920).

Using the entire Belle data sample of 980 ${rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collisions, we present the results of a study of excited $Omega_c$ charmed baryons in the decay mode $Xi_c^+K^-$. We show confirmation of four of the five narrow states reported by the LHCb Collaboration: the $Omega_c(3000)$ , $Omega_c(3050)$, $Omega_c(3066)$, and $Omega_c(3090)$.
The first observation of the $Omega_b^-toXi_c^+ K^- pi^-$ decay is reported using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of $7$, $8$ and $13,mathrm{TeV}$ collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. Four excited $Omega_c^0$ baryons are observed in the $Xi_c^+ K^-$ mass projection of the $Omega_b^-toXi_c^+ K^- pi^-$ decays with significance exceeding five standard deviations. Their relative production rates, masses and natural widths are measured, and a test of spin hypotheses is performed. Moreover, the branching ratio of $Omega_b^-toXi_c^+ K^- pi^-$ is measured relative to the $Omega_b^-to Omega_c^0 pi^-$ decay mode and a precise measurement of the $Omega_b^-$ mass of $6044.3 pm 1.2 pm 1.1^{,+0.19}_{,-0.22},mathrm{MeV}$ is obtained.
Using 980 $fb^-1$ of data collected with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider, we report a study of the electromagnetic decays of excited {charmed baryons} $Xi_c(2790)$ and $Xi_c(2815)$. A clear signal (8.6 standard deviations) is observed for $Xi_c(2815)^0 to Xi_c^0gamma$, and we measure: $B[Xi_c(2815)^0 to Xi_c^0gamma]/B[Xi_c(2815)^0 to Xi_c(2645)^+pi^- to Xi_c^0pi^+pi^-] = 0.41 pm 0.05 pm 0.03$. We also present evidence (3.8 standard deviations) for the similar decay of the $Xi_c(2790)^0$ and measure: $B[Xi_c(2790)^{0}toXi_c^{0}gamma]/B[Xi_c(2790)^0toXi_c^{prime +}pi^{-}toXi_c^{+}gamma pi^-] = 0.13 pm 0.03 pm 0.02$. The first quoted uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. We find no hint of the analogous decays of the $Xi_c(2815)^+$ and $Xi_c(2790)^+$ baryons and set upper limits at the 90% confidence level of: $B[Xi_c(2815)^{+}toXi_c^{+}gamma]/B[Xi_c(2815)^+toXi_c(2645)^0pi^+toXi_c^+pi^-pi^+] < 0.09,$ and $B[Xi_c(2790)^{+}toXi_c^{+}gamma]/B[Xi_c(2790)^+toXi_c^{prime 0}pi^{+}toXi_c^{0}gamma pi^+] < 0.06.$ Approximate values of the partial widths of the decays are extracted, which can be used to discriminate between models of the underlying quark structure of these excited states.
Using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $8.5,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of $sqrt{s} = 7$, $8$ and $13mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$, the observation of an excited $B_c^+$ state in the $B_c^+pi^+pi^-$ invariant-mass spectrum is reported. The observed peak has a mass of $6841.2 pm 0.6 {,rm (stat),} pm 0.1 {,rm (syst),} pm 0.8,(B_c^+) mathrm{,MeV}/c^2$, where the last uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the $B_c^+$ mass. It is consistent with expectations of the $B_c^{*}(2^{3}S_{1})^+$ state reconstructed without the low-energy photon from the $B_c^{*}(1^{3}S_{1})^+ to B_c^+ gamma$ decay following $B_c^{*}(2^{3}S_{1})^+ to B_c^{*}(1^{3}S_{1})^+ pi^+ pi^-$. A second state is seen with a global (local) statistical significance of $2.2,sigma$ ($3.2,sigma$) and a mass of $6872.1 pm 1.3 {,rm (stat),} pm 0.1 {,rm (syst),} pm 0.8,(B_c^+) mathrm{,MeV}/c^2$, and is consistent with the $B_c(2^{1}S_{0})^+$ state. These mass measurements are the most precise to date.
We report four narrow peaks in the $Xi_b^0K^-$ mass spectrum obtained using $pp$ collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. Referring to these states by their mass, the mass values are begin{align*} m(Omega_b(6316)^-) &= 6315.64pm0.31pm0.07pm0.50 {rm MeV}, m(Omega_b(6330)^-) &= 6330.30pm0.28pm0.07pm0.50 {rm MeV}, m(Omega_b(6340)^-) &= 6339.71pm0.26pm0.05pm0.50 {rm MeV}, m(Omega_b(6350)^-) &= 6349.88pm0.35pm0.05pm0.50 {rm MeV}, end{align*}where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic and the last is due to the knowledge of the $Xi_b^0$ mass. The natural widths of the three lower mass states are consistent with zero, and the 90% confidence-level upper limits are determined to be ${Gamma(Omega_b(6316)^-)<2.8}$ MeV, ${Gamma(Omega_b(6330)^-)<3.1}$ MeV and ${Gamma(Omega_b(6340)^-)<1.5}$ MeV. The natural width of the $Omega_b(6350)^-$ peak is $1.4^{+1.0}_{-0.8}pm0.1$ MeV, which is 2.5$sigma$ from zero and corresponds to an upper limit of 2.8 MeV. The peaks have local significances ranging from 3.6$sigma$ to 7.2$sigma$. After accounting for the look-elsewhere effect, the significances of the $Omega_b(6316)^-$ and $Omega_b(6330)^-$ peaks are reduced to 2.1$sigma$ and 2.6$sigma$ respectively, while the two higher mass peaks exceed 5$sigma$. The observed peaks are consistent with expectations for excited $Omega_b^-$ resonances.
