New Results on Heavy Flavor Baryons

Heavy flavor baryons are attractive systems for testing effective theories for weak lifetime and decay systematics. Recently, new experimental results have mitigated one historic problem in the weak lifetime systematics and continued another. The charm baryon system continues to show new high mass, narrow states well isolated from one another. The spectroscopy of these states will challenge new advances in lattice gauge theoretic calculations of baryon structure. Double charm baryons still are seen only by SELEX, which showed a new candidate. High-sensitivity searches by BELLE and BaBar show only featureless background.
