The discovery of $Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by the LHCb Collaboration triggers predictions of more doubly charmed baryons. By taking into account both the $P$-wave excitations between the two charm quarks and the scattering of light pseudoscalar mesons off the ground state doubly charmed baryons, a set of negative-parity spin-1/2 doubly charmed baryons are predicted already from a unitarized version of leading order chiral perturbation theory. Moreover, employing heavy antiquark-diquark symmetry the relevant low-energy constants in the next-to-leading order are connected with those describing light pseudoscalar mesons scattering off charmed mesons, which have been well determined from lattice calculations and experimental data. Our calculations result in a spectrum richer than that of heavy mesons. We find two very narrow $J^P=1/2^-$ $Omega_{cc}^P$, which very likely decay into $Omega_{cc}pi^0$ breaking isospin symmetry. In the isospin-1/2 $Xi_{cc}^P$ sector, three states are predicted to exist below 4.2~GeV with the lowest one being narrow and the other two rather broad. We suggest to search for the $Xi_{cc}^{P}$ states in the $Xi_{cc}^{++}pi^-$ mode. Searching for them and their analogues are helpful to establish the hadron spectrum.

The chiral corrections to the magnetic moments of the spin-$frac{1}{2}$ doubly charmed baryons are systematically investigated up to next-to-next-to-leading order with heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). The numerical results are calculated up to next-to-leading order: $mu_{Xi^{++}_{cc}}=-0.25mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{+}_{cc}}=0.85mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{+}_{cc}}=0.78mu_{N}$. We also calculate the magnetic moments of the other doubly heavy baryons, including the doubly bottomed baryons (bbq) and the doubly heavy baryons containing a light quark, a charm quark and a bottom quark (${bc}q$ and $[bc]q$): $mu_{Xi^{0}_{bb}}=-0.84mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{-}_{bb}}=0.26mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{-}_{bb}}=0.19mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{+}_{{bc}q}}=-0.54mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{0}_{{bc}q}}=0.56mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{0}_{{bc}q}}=0.49mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{+}_{[bc]q}}=0.69mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{0}_{[bc]q}}=-0.59mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{0}_{[bc]q}}=0.24mu_{N}$.
The hadronic two-body weak decays of the doubly charmed baryons $Xi_{cc}^{++}, Xi_{cc}^+$ and $Omega_{cc}^+$ are studied in this work. To estimate the nonfactorizable contributions, we work in the pole model for the $P$-wave amplitudes and current algebra for $S$-wave ones. For the $Xi_{cc}^{++}to Xi_c^+pi^+$ mode, we find a large destructive interference between factorizable and nonfactorizable contributions for both $S$- and $P$-wave amplitudes. Our prediction of $sim 0.70%$ for its branching fraction is smaller than the earlier estimates in which nonfactorizable effects were not considered, but agrees nicely with the result based on an entirely different approach, namely, the covariant confined quark model. On the contrary, a large constructive interference was found in the $P$-wave amplitude by Dhir and Sharma, leading to a branching fraction of order $(7-16)%$. Using the current results for the absolute branching fractions of $(Lambda_c^+,Xi_c^+)to p K^-pi^+$ and the LHCb measurement of $Xi_{cc}^{++}toXi_c^+pi^+$ relative to $Xi_{cc}^{++}toLambda_c^+ K^- pi^+pi^+$, we obtain $B(Xi_{cc}^{++}toXi_c^+pi^+)_{rm expt}approx (1.83pm1.01)%$ after employing the latest prediction of $B(Xi_{cc}^{++}toSigma_c^{++}overline{K}^{*0})$. Our prediction of $mathcal{B}(Xi_{cc}^{++}toXi_c^+pi^+)approx 0.7%$ is thus consistent with the experimental value but in the lower end. It is important to pin down the branching fraction of this mode in future study. Factorizable and nonfactorizable $S$-wave amplitudes interfere constructively in $Xi_{cc}^+toXi_c^0pi^+$. Its large branching fraction of order 4% may enable experimentalists to search for the $Xi_{cc}^+$ through this mode. That is, the $Xi_{cc}^+$ is reconstructed through the $Xi_{cc}^+toXi_c^0pi^+$ followed by the decay chain $Xi_c^0to Xi^-pi^+to ppi^-pi^-pi^+$.
We present the energy spectra of the low lying doubly-charmed baryons using lattice quantum chromodynamics. We precisely predict the ground state mass of the charmed-strange Omega(cc) (1/2+) baryon to be 3712(11)(12) MeV which could well be the next doubly-charmed baryon to be discovered at the LHCb experiment at CERN. We also predict masses of other doubly-charmed strange baryons with quantum numbers 3/2+, 1/2-, and 3/2-.
Doubly Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) nonleptonic weak decays of antitriplet charmed baryons are studied systematically in this work. The factorizable and nonfactorizable contributions can be classified explicitly in the topological-diagram approach and treated separately. In particular, the evaluation of nonfactorizable terms is based on the pole model in conjunction with current algebra. All three types of relevant non-perturbative parameters contributing factorizable and nonfactorizable terms are estimated in the MIT bag model. Branching fractions of all the DCS decays are predicted to be of order $10^{-4}sim 10^{-6}$. In particular, we find that the three modes $Xi_c^+to Sigma^+ K^0, Sigma^0 K^+$ and $Xi_c^0to Sigma^- K^+$ are as large as $(1sim 2)times 10^{-4}$, which are the most promising DCS channels to be measured. We also point out that the two DCS modes $Xi_c^+to Sigma^+ K^0$ and $Xi_c^0to Sigma^0 K^0$ are possible to be distinguished from $Xi_c^+to Sigma^+ K_S$ and $Xi_c^0to Sigma^0 K_S$. The decay asymmetries for all the channels with a kaon in their final states are found to be large in magnitude and negative in sign.
Stimulated by the newly reported doubly-charmed tetraquark state $T_{cc}^+$ by LHCb, we carry out a systematic investigation of the $S$-wave interactions between the charmed meson ($D,,D^{*}$) in $H$-doublet and the charmed meson ($D_{1},,D_{2}^{*}$) in $T$-doublet by adopting the one-boson-exchange model. Both the $S$-$D$ wave mixing effect and the coupled channel effect are taken into account. By performing a quantitative calculation, we suggest that the $S$-wave $D^{*} D_{1}$ states with $I(J^{P})=0(0^{-},,1^{-})$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}D_{2}^{*}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(1^{-})$ should be viewed as the most promising candidates of the doubly-charmed molecular tetraquark states, and the $S$-wave $DD_{1}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(1^{-})$, the $S$-wave $DD_{2}^{*}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(2^{-})$, and the $S$-wave $D^{*}D_{2}^{*}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(2^{-})$ are the possible doubly-charmed molecular tetraquark candidates. With the accumulation of experimental data at Run III and after High-Luminosity-LHC upgrade, these predicted doubly-charmed molecular tetraquark states can be accessible at LHCb in the near future.
