Heavy baryons with relativistic quarks

Abstract

We present a lattice QCD study of heavy baryons containing charm and bottom quarks, with particular emphasis on the relativistic treatment of all valence quarks. We use $N_f=2+1+1$ HISQ ensembles at the physical point to compute ground-state energies of spin-$3/2^{+}$ baryons, including singly-, doubly-, and triply-heavy charmed and bottom baryons. This work represents the first investigation of heavy baryons using fully relativistic bottom quarks.
