abstract
We observe a signal for the doubly charmed baryon Xi_cc^+ in the charged decay mode Xi_cc^+ --> Lambda_c^+ K- pi+ in data from SELEX, the charm hadro-production experiment at Fermilab. We observe an excess of 15.9 events over an expected background of 6.1 +/- 0.5 events, a statistical significance of 6.3sigma. The observed mass of this state is (3519 +/- 1) MeV/c^2. The Gaussian mass width of this state is 3MeV/c^2, consistent with resolution; its lifetime is less than 33fsec at 90% confidence.

Chiral EFT with lattice-fitted LECs and unitarization predicts resonance, virtual, and bound states plus scattering parameters for doubly charmed baryon-meson systems at physical quark masses.
Calculates branching ratios, decay asymmetries, and CP violations for doubly charmed baryon decays to singly charmed baryons and vector mesons by evaluating full real and imaginary parts from final-state rescattering triangle diagrams.
Born-Oppenheimer approximation calculations for doubly heavy hadrons match Gaussian expansion benchmarks at small heavy quark masses but diverge at larger masses, with Slater-type functions overestimating and Gaussian-type underestimating binding energies.
Light cone QCD sum rules produce the form factors T1V(q²=0), T2V(q²=0), T1A(q²=0), T2A(q²=0) for Ξ*bb → Ξb γ, from which the decay width is calculated.
Updated predictions within the heavy quark expansion confirm the lifetime hierarchy τ(Ξ_cc^+) < τ(Ω_cc^+) < τ(Ξ_cc^++) with τ(Ξ_cc^++) = 0.32 ± 0.05 +0.08/-0.07 ps matching LHCb data and provide ratios for the other states.
