Using data recorded with the Belle detector, we observe a new excited hyperon, an $Omega^{*-}$ candidate decaying into $Xi^0K^-$ and $Xi^-K^0_S$ with a mass of $2012.4pm0.7 {rm (stat)pm 0.6 (rm syst)} {rm MeV}/c^2$ and a width of $Gamma=6.4^{+2.5}_{-2.0} {rm(stat)}pm1.6 {rm(syst)} {rm MeV}$. The $Omega^{*-}$ is seen primarily in $Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S)$, and $Upsilon(3S)$ decays.

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.
Using a total of 11.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data with center-of-mass energies between 4.009 GeV and 4.6 GeV and collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we measure fifteen exclusive cross sections and effective form factors for the process $e^{+}e^{-}rightarrowXi^{-}barXi^{+}$ by means of a single baryon-tag method. After performing a fit to the dressed cross section of $e^{+}e^{-}rightarrowXi^{-}barXi^{+}$, no significant $psi(4230)$ or $psi(4260)$ resonance is observed in the $Xi^{-}barXi^{+}$ final states, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level on $Gamma_{ee}mathcal{B}$ for the processes $psi(4230)$/$psi(4260)rightarrowXi^{-}barXi^{+}$ are determined. In addition, an excited $Xi$ baryon at 1820 MeV/$c^{2}$ is observed with a statistical significance of 6.2 $sim$ 6.5$sigma$ by including the systematic uncertainty, and the mass and width are measured to be $M = (1825.5 pm 4.7 pm 4.7)$~MeV/$c^{2}$ and $Gamma = (17.0 pm 15.0 pm 7.9)$~MeV, which confirms the existence of the $J^{P}=frac{3}{2}^{-}$ state $Xi(1820)$.
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).
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.
The reaction e^+e^- ---> OMEGA+PI0 ---> PI+PI- 2PI0 has been studied with SND detector at VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider in the vicinity of the PHI(1020) meson resonance. The observed interference pattern in the energy dependence of the cross section is consistent with existence of the decay PHI ---> OMEGA+PI0 with a branching ratio of B(PHI ---> OMEGA+PI0)=(4.8+1.9-1.7+-0.8)x10^{-5}. The real and imaginary parts of the decay amplitude were measured. The PHI ---> OMEGA+PI0 decay was observed for the first time.
