Excited heavy baryon masses in HQET QCD sum rules

We construct the interpolating currents for the fourteen p-wave excited heavy baryons in the framework of heavy quark effective theory (HQET). At the leading order in the 1/m_Q expansion these interpolating currents do not mix different states with the same J^P with each other. We use QCD sum rule to calculate the masses of the p-wave excited J=1/2 spin doublet heavy baryons in the m_Q~infinity limit. We discuss some implications of our results.
