We calculate the semileptonic and a subclass of sixteen nonleptonic two-body decays of the double charm baryon ground states $Xi_{cc}^{++},,Xi_{cc}^{+}$ and $Omega_{cc}^+$ where we concentrate on the nonleptonic decay modes. We identify those nonleptonic decay channels in which the decay proceeds solely via the factorizing contribution precluding a contamination from $W$-exchange. We use the covariant confined quark model previously developed by us to calculate the various helicity amplitudes which describe the dynamics of the $1/2^+ to 1/2^+$ and $1/2^+ to 3/2^+$ transitions induced by the Cabibbo favored effective $(c to s)$ and $(d to u)$ currents. We then proceed to calculate the rates of the decays as well as polarization effects and angular decay distributions of the prominent decay chains resulting from the nonleptonic decays of the double heavy charm baryon parent states.

In this work we study the weak decays of $Xi_{cc}toXi_c$ and $Xi_{cc}toXi_c$ in the light-front quark model. Generally, a naive, but reasonable conjecture suggests that the $cc$ subsystem in $Xi_{cc}$ ( $us$ pair in $Xi^{()}_c$) stands as a diquark w ith definite spin and color assignments. During the concerned processes, the diquark of the initial state is not a spectator, and must be broken. A Racah transformation would decompose the original $(cc)q$ into a combination of $c(cq)$ components. Thus we may deal with the decaying $c$ quark alone while keeping the $(cq)$ subsystem as a spectator. With the re-arrangement of the inner structure we calculate the form factors numerically and then obtain the rates of semi-leptonic decays and non-leptonic decays, which will be measured in the future.
A highly significant structure is observed in the $Lambda_c^+K^-pi^+pi^+$ mass spectrum, where the $Lambda_c^+$ baryon is reconstructed in the decay mode $pK^-pi^+$. The structure is consistent with originating from a weakly decaying particle, identi fied as the doubly charmed baryon $Xi_{cc}^{++}$. The difference between the masses of the $Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and $Lambda_c^+$ states is measured to be $1334.94 pm 0.72 (mathrm{stat}) pm 0.27 (mathrm{syst}~mathrm{MeV}/c^2$, and the $Xi_{cc}^{++}$ mass is then determined to be $3621.40 pm 0.72 (mathrm{stat}) pm 0.27 (mathrm{syst} pm 0.14 , (Lambda_c^+)~mathrm{MeV}/c^2$, where the last uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the $Lambda_c^+$ mass. The state is observed in a sample of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, and confirmed in an additional sample of data collected at 8 TeV.
A search for the doubly charmed baryon $Xi_{cc}^{+}$ is performed through its decay to the $Lambda_c^+ K^- pi^+$ final state, using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13$mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$. The data correspond to a total integrated luminosity of $9,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. No significant signal is observed in the mass range from 3.4 to 3.8$mathrm{,Gekern -0.1em V}/c^2$. Upper limits are set at $95%$ credibility level on the ratio of the $Xi_{cc}^{+}$ production cross-section times the branching fraction to that of $Lambda_c^+$ and $Xi_{cc}^{++}$ baryons. The limits are determined as functions of the $Xi_{cc}^{+}$ mass for different lifetime hypotheses, in the rapidity range from 2.0 to 4.5 and the transverse momentum range from 4 to 15$mathrm{,Gekern -0.1em V}/c$.
Stimulated by the new experimental LHCb findings associated with the $Omega_c$ states, some of which we have described in a previous work as being dynamically generated through meson-baryon interaction, we have extended this approach to make predicti ons for new $Xi_{cc}$ molecular states in the $C=2$, $S=0$ and $I=1/2$ sector. These states manifest themselves as poles in the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation in coupled channels. The kernels of this equation were obtained using the Lagrangians coming from the hidden local gauge symmetry, where the interactions are dominated by the exchange of light vector mesons. The extension of this approach to the heavy sector stems from the realization that the dominant interaction corresponds to having the heavy quarks as spectators, which implies the preservation of the heavy quark symmetry. As a result, we get several states: two states from the pseudoscalar meson-baryon interaction with $J^P=1/2^-$, and masses around $4080$ and $4090$ MeV, and one at $4150$ MeV for $J^P=3/2^-$. Furthermore, from the vector meson-baryon interaction we get three states degenerate with $J^P=1/2^-$ and $3/2^-$ from $4220$ MeV to $4330$ MeV, and two more states around $4280$ MeV and $4410$ MeV, degenerate with $J^P=1/2^-,, 3/2^-$ and $5/2^-$.
A measurement of the $Xi_{cc}^{++}$ mass is performed using data collected by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018 in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The $ Xi_{cc}^{++}$ candidates are reconstructed via the decay modes $Xi_{cc}^{++}toLambda_c^+K^-pi^+pi^+$ and $Xi_{cc}^{++}toXi_c^+pi^+$. The result, $3621.55 pm 0.23{rm,(stat),} pm 0.30 {rm,(syst),}{rm MeV}/c^2$, is the most precise measurement of the $Xi_{cc}^{++}$ mass to date.
