Ground-state triply and doubly heavy baryons in a relativistic three-quark model

Mass spectra of the ground-state baryons consisting of three or two heavy (b or c) and one light (u, d, s) quarks are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model and the hyperspherical expansion. The predictions of masses of the triply and doubly heavy baryons are obtained by employing,the perturbation theory for the spin-independent and spin-dependent parts of the three-quark Hamiltonian.
