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.

abstract
We have performed a detailed investigation of total lifetimes for the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$ baryons in the framework of operator product expansion over the inverse mass of charmed quark, whereas, to estimate matrix elements of operators obtained in OPE, some approximations of nonrelativistic QCD are used. This approach allows one to take into account the corrections to the spectator decays of $c$-quarks, which reflect the fact, that these quarks are bound, as well as the contributions, connected to the effects of both the Pauli interference for the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$-baryon and the weak scattering for the $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$-baryon. The realization of such program leads to the following estimates for the total lifetimes of doubly charmed baryons: $\tau_{\Xi_{cc}^{++}}=0.43\pm 0.1~ps$ and $\tau_{\Xi_{cc}^{+}}=0.11\pm 0.01~ps$.

Updated lifetime predictions for doubly heavy baryons and B_c meson with NNLO and NLO corrections in MS-bar, kinetic, and Upsilon mass schemes, including new hierarchies for bc states.
Lifetimes of Xi_cc++, Xi_cc+, Omega_cc+ are (2.67 ± 0.94, 0.47 ± 0.08, 1.79 ± 0.62) × 10^{-13} s and for Xi_bb0, Xi_bb-, Omega_bb- are (0.75 ± 0.11, 0.92 ± 0.15, 0.93 ± 0.15) × 10^{-12} s, with W-exchange driving large splittings in the charmed sector.
