Description

We use QCD sum rules to study the masses of the baryons $Ξ_c$ and $Ξ_b$. We work with a current where the strange and the light quarks are in a relative spin zero, at leading order in $α_s$. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension six. For $Ξ_b$ we get $m_{Ξ_{b}}= (5.75\pm 0.25) {\rm GeV}$, and for $Ξ_c$ we get $m_{Ξ_{c}}= (2.5\pm 0.2) {\rm GeV}$, both in excelent agreement with the experimental values. We also make predictions to the state $Ω_b(ssb)$ obtaining m_{Ω_{b}}= (5.82\pm 0.23) GeV.
revised version accepted for publication in Phys. Lett. B. Includes a prediction to the state Omega_b(ssb)
