This is an update of the two articles [H.Y. Cheng, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A {bf 24} (Suppl. 1), 593 (2009); Front. Phys. {bf 10}, 101406 (2015)] in which charmed baryon physics around 2007 and 2015, respectively, were reviewed. In this review we emphasize the experimental progress and the theoretical development since 2015.

We study charmed baryon resonances that are generated dynamically from a coupled-channel unitary approach that implements heavy-quark symmetry. Some states can already be identified with experimental observations, such as $Lambda_c(2595)$, $Lambda_c(2660)$, $Sigma_c(2902)$ or $Lambda_c(2941)$, while others need a compilation of more experimental data as well as an extension of the model to include higher order contributions. We also compare our model to previous SU(4) schemes.
We analyze the decay processes of ${bf B}_c to {bf B}_n M$ with the $SU(3)_F$ flavor symmetry and spin-dependent amplitudes, where ${bf B}_c({bf B}_n)$ and $M$ are the anti-triplet charmed (octet) baryon and nonet meson states, respectively. In the $SU(3)_F$ approach, it is the first time that the decay rates and up-down asymmetries are fully and systematically studied without neglecting the ${cal O}(overline{15})$ contributions of the color anti-symmetric parts in the effective Hamiltonian. Our results of the up-down asymmetries based on $SU(3)_F$ are quite different from the previous theoretical values in the literature. In particular, we find that the up-down symmetry of $ alpha(Lambda_c^+to Xi^0 K^+)_{SU(3)} = 0.94^{+0.06}_{-0.11}$, which is consistent with the recent experimental data of $0.77pm0.78$ by the BESIII Collaboration, but predicted to be zero in the literature. We also examine the $K_S^0-K_L^0$ asymmetries between the decays of ${bf B}_c to {bf B}_n K_S^0$ and ${bf B}_c to {bf B}_n K_L^0$ with both Cabibbo-allowed and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed transitions.
We give a systematic study of ${bf B}_cto {bf B}_n V$ decays, where ${bf B}_c$ and $ {bf B}_n$ correspond to the anti-triplet charmed and octet baryons, respectively, while $V$ stand for the vector mesons. We calculate the color-symmetric contributions to the decays from the effective Hamiltonian with the factorization approach and extract the anti-symmetric ones based on the experimental measurements and $SU(3)_F$ flavor symmetry. We find that most of the existing experimental data for ${bf B}_cto {bf B}_n V$ are consistent with our fitting results. We present all the branching ratios of the Cabbibo allowed, singly Cabbibo suppressed and doubly Cabbibo suppressed decays of ${bf B}_cto {bf B}_n V$. The decay parameters for the daughter baryons and mesons in ${bf B}_cto {bf B}_n V$ are also evaluated. In particular, we point out that the Cabbibo allowed decays of $Lambda_c^+ to Lambda^0 rho^+$ and $ Xi_c^0 to Xi^- rho^+$ as well as the singly Cabbibo suppressed ones of $Lambda_c^+ to Lambda^0 K^{*+}$, $Xi_c^+ to Sigma^+ phi$ and $Xi_c^0to Xi^- K^{*+}$ have large branching ratios and decay parameters with small uncertainties, which can be tested by the experimental searches at the charm facilities.
We propose that the inclusive $Xi_{bc} to Xi_{cc}^{++}+X$ decay can be a potential discovery channel for beauty-charmed baryons $Xi_{bc}$ at the LHC. The unique feature of this process is that it produces a displaced $Xi_{cc}^{++}$, which makes it almost background free. Within the heavy diquark effective theory, the $Xi_{bc} to Xi_{cc}^{++}+X$ branching ratio is calculated to be about 3%. Further considering the production rate of $Xi_{bc}$ and the detection efficiency of $Xi_{cc}^{++}$, it is expected that hundreds of signal events will be collected by the LHCb Run3.
We study the three-body anti-triplet ${bf B_c}to {bf B_n}MM$ decays with the $SU(3)$ flavor ($SU(3)_f$) symmetry, where ${bf B_c}$ denotes the charmed baryon anti-triplet of $(Xi_c^0,-Xi_c^+,Lambda_c^+)$, and ${bf B_n}$ and $M(M)$ represent baryon and meson octets, respectively. By considering only the S-wave $MM$-pair contributions without resonance effects, the decays of ${bf B_c}to {bf B_n}MM$ can be decomposed into irreducible forms with 11 parameters under $SU(3)_f$, which are fitted by the 14 existing data, resulting in a reasonable value of $chi^2/d.o.f=2.8$ for the fit. Consequently, we find that the triangle sum rule of ${cal A}(Lambda_c^+to nbar K^0 pi^+)-{cal A}(Lambda_c^+to pK^- pi^+)-sqrt 2 {cal A}(Lambda_c^+to pbar K^0 pi^0)=0$ given by the isospin symmetry holds under $SU(3)_f$, where ${cal A}$ stands for the decay amplitude. In addition, we predict that ${cal B}(Lambda_c^+to n pi^{+} bar{K}^{0})=(0.9pm 0.8)times 10^{-2}$, which is $3-4$ times smaller than the BESIII observation, indicating the existence of the resonant states. For the to-be-observed ${bf B_c}to {bf B_n}MM$ decays, we compute the branching fractions with the $SU(3)_f$ amplitudes to be compared to the BESIII and LHCb measurements in the future.
