We report measurements of the lifetimes of the $Lambda_c^+$, $Xi_c^+$ and $Xi_c^0$ charm baryons using proton-proton collision data at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8tev, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment. The charm baryons are reconstructed through the decays $Lambda_c^+to pK^-pi^+$, $Xi_c^+to pK^-pi^+$ and $Xi_c^0to pK^-K^-pi^+$, and originate from semimuonic decays of beauty baryons. The lifetimes are measured relative to that of the $D^+$ meson, and are determined to be begin{align*} tau_{Lambda_c^+} &= 203.5pm1.0pm1.3pm1.4~{rm fs}, ewline tau_{Xi_c^+} &= 456.8pm3.5pm2.9pm3.1~{rm fs}, ewline tau_{Xi_c^0} &= 154.5pm1.7pm1.6pm1.0~{rm fs}, end{align*} where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the uncertainty in the $D^+$ lifetime. The measurements are approximately 3--4 times more precise than the current world average values. The $Lambda_c^+$ and $Xi_c^+$ lifetimes are in agreement with previous measurements; however, the $Xi_c^0$ baryon lifetime is approximately 3.3 standard deviations larger than the world average value.

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.
Measurements on the weak decay asymmetry parameters of charmed baryon, say $Xi_c$, provide more information on the $W$-emission and $W$-exchange mechanisms controlled by the strong and weak interactions. Taking advantage of the spin polarization in t he charmed baryon decays, we investigate the possibility to measure the weak decay asymmetry parameters in the $e^{+}e^{-}to Xi_c^0barXi_c^0$ process. We analyze the transverse polarization spontaneously produced in this process and spin transfer in the subsequent $Xi_c$ decays. The sensitivity to measure the asymmetry parameters are estimated for the decay $Xi_ctoXi pi$.
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 wi th 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.
We present the first measurements of the absolute branching fractions of $Xi_c^+$ decays into $Xi^- pi^+ pi^+$ and $p K^- pi^+$ final states. Our analysis is based on a data set of $(772pm 11)times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S )$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. We measure the absolute branching fraction of $bar{B}^{0} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}^{+}$ with the $Xi_c^+$ recoiling against $bar{Lambda}_c^-$ in $bar{B}^0$ decays resulting in ${cal B}(bar{B}^{0} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}^{+}) = [1.16 pm 0.42(rm stat.) pm 0.15(rm syst.)] times 10^{-3}$. We then measure the product branching fractions ${cal B}(bar{B}^{0} to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^+){cal B}(Xi_c^+ to Xi^- pi^+ pi^+)$ and ${cal B}(bar{B}^{0} to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^+){cal B}(Xi_c^+ to p K^- pi^+)$. Dividing these product branching fractions by $bar{B}^{0} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}^{+}$ yields: ${cal B}(Xi_c^+ to Xi^- pi^+ pi^+) = [2.86 pm 1.21(rm stat.) pm 0.38(rm syst.)]%$ and ${cal B}(Xi_c^+ to p K^- pi^+)=[0.45 pm 0.21(rm stat.) pm 0.07(rm syst.)]%$. Our result for ${cal B}(Xi_c^+ to Xi^- pi^+ pi^+)$ can be combined with $Xi_c^+$ branching fractions measured relative to $Xi_c^+ to Xi^- pi^+ pi^+$ to set the absolute scale for many $Xi_c^+$ branching fractions.
