There has been important experimental progress in the sector of heavy baryons in the past several years. We study the strong decays of the S-wave, P-wave, D-wave and radially excited charmed baryons using the $^3P_0$ model. After comparing the calculated decay pattern and total width with the available data, we discuss the possible internal structure and quantum numbers of those charmed baryons observed recently.

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 al gebra 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 $Xi_c^0to Xi^-pi^+to ppi^-pi^-pi^+$.
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 tr eated 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.
We have investigated the electromagnetic decays of the antitriplet and sextet charmed baryon systems with $J^P= frac{1}{2}^+, frac{3}{2}^+$ in the framework of the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We first construct the chiral Lagrangians at $O(p^2)$ and $O(p^3)$. Then we calculate the electromagnetic (EM) decay amplitudes of the charmed baryon systems up to $O(p^3)$. With the help of the quark model, we estimate the low energy constants. The numerical results of the EM decay widths show good convergence of the chiral expansion. We notice that the two neutral EM decay processes $Xi_c^0rightarrowgamma+Xi_c^0$ and ${Xi_c^*}^0rightarrowgamma+Xi_c^0$ are strongly suppressed by the SU(3) U-spin flavor symmetry. With the same formalism, we also estimate the EM decay widths of the bottomed baryons. The EM decay widths of the heavy baryons may be measured at facilities such as LHCb and JPARC. The explicit chiral structures of the heavy baryon decay amplitudes derived in this work may be useful to the possible chiral extrapolations of the future lattice simulations of these EM decay amplitudes.
We systematically study the semileptonic decays of ${bf B_c} to {bf B_n}ell^+ u_{ell}$ in the light-front constituent quark model, where ${bf B_c}$ represent the anti-triplet charmed baryons of $(Xi_c^0,Xi_c^+,Lambda_c^+)$ and ${bf B_n}$ correspond to the octet ones. We determine the spin-flavor structures of the constituents in the baryons with the Fermi statistics and calculate the decay branching ratios (${cal B}$s) and averaged asymmetry parameters ($alpha$s) with the helicity formalism. In particular, we find that ${cal B}( Lambda_c^+ to Lambda e^+ u_{e}, ne^+ u_{e})=(3.55pm1.04, 0.36pm0.15)%$, ${cal B}( Xi_c^+ to Xi^0 e^+ u_{e},Sigma^0 e^+ u_{e},Lambda e^+ u_{e})=(11.3pm3.35), 0.33pm0.09,0.12pm0.04%$ and ${cal B}( Xi_c^0 to Xi^- e^+ u_{e},Sigma^- e^+ u_{e})=(3.49pm0.95,0.22pm0.06)%$. Our results agree with the current experimental data. Our prediction for ${cal B}( Lambda_c^+ to n e^+ u_{e})$ is consistent with those in the literature, which can be measured by the charm-facilities, such as BESIII and BELLE. Some of our results for the $Xi_c^{+(0)}$ semileptonic channels can be tested by the experiments at BELLE as well as the ongoing ones at LHCb and BELLEII.
In this work we study the radiative decay of dynamically generated $J^P=oh^-$ charm baryons into the ground state $J^P=oh^+$ baryons. Since different theoretical interpretations of these baryonic resonances, and in particular of the $Lambda_c(2595)$, give different predictions, a precise experimental measurement of these decays would be an important step for understanding their nature.
