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.

We study the weak decay $Omega_b^- to (Xi_c^+ , K^-) , pi^-$, in view of the narrow $Omega_c$ states recently measured by the LHCb collaboration and later confirmed by the Belle collaboration. The $Omega_c(3050)$ and $Omega_c(3090)$ are described as meson-baryon molecular states, using an extension of the local hidden gauge approach in coupled channels. We investigate the $Xi D$, $Xi_c bar K$ and $Xi_c^prime bar K$ invariant mass distributions making predictions that could be confronted with future experiments, providing useful information that could help determine the quantum numbers and nature of these states.
The $Xi_c^+ K^-$ mass spectrum is studied with a sample of $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.3 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment. The $Xi_c^+$ is reconstructed in the decay mode $p K^- pi^+$. Five new, narrow excited $Omega_c^0$ states are observed: the $Omega_c(3000)^0$, $Omega_c(3050)^0$, $Omega_c(3066)^0$, $Omega_c(3090)^0$, and $Omega_c(3119)^0$. Measurements of their masses and widths are reported.
The $Lambda_c^+K^-$ mass spectrum is studied with a data sample of $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. Three $Xi_c^0$ states are observed with a large significance and their masses and natural widths are measured to be begin{eqnarray*} m(Xi_c(2923)^0)&=& 2923.04 pm 0.25 pm 0.20 pm 0.14 ~mathrm{MeV}, Gamma(Xi_c(2923)^0) &=& 7.1 pm 0.8 pm 1.8 ~mathrm{MeV}, end{eqnarray*} begin{eqnarray*} m(Xi_c(2939)^0) &=& 2938.55 pm 0.21 pm 0.17 pm 0.14 ~mathrm{ MeV}, Gamma(Xi_c(2939)^0) &=& 10.2 pm 0.8 pm 1.1 ~mathrm{ MeV}, end{eqnarray*} begin{eqnarray*} m(Xi_c(2965)^0) &=& 2964.88 pm 0.26 pm 0.14 pm 0.14~mathrm{ MeV}, Gamma(Xi_c(2965)^0) &=& 14.1 pm 0.9 pm 1.3~mathrm{ MeV}, end{eqnarray*} where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the $Lambda_c^+$ mass. The $Xi_c(2923)^0$ and $Xi_c(2939)^0$ baryons are new states. The $Xi_c(2965)^0$ state is in the vicinity of the known $Xi_c(2970)^0$ baryon; however, their masses and natural widths differ significantly.
Using a data sample of 980 ${rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data taken with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we report the results of a study of excited $Xi_c$ states that decay, via the emission of photons and/or charged pions, into $Xi_c^0$ or $Xi_c^+$ ground state charmed-strange baryons. We present new measurements of the masses of all members of the $Xi_c^{prime}$, $Xi_c(2645)$, $Xi_c(2790)$, $Xi_c(2815)$, and $Xi_c(2980)$ isodoublets, measurements of the intrinsic widths of those that decay strongly, and evidence of previously unknown transitions.
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.
