The large number of $B_c$ mesons observed by LHCb suggests a sizable cross section for producing doubly-heavy baryons in the same experiment. Motivated by this, we estimate masses of the doubly-heavy $J=1/2$ baryons $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bb}$, and $\Xi_{bc}$, and their $J=3/2$ hyperfine partners, using a method which accurately predicts the masses of ground-state baryons with a single heavy quark. We obtain $M(\Xi_{cc}) = 3627 \pm 12$ MeV, $M(\Xi_{cc}^*)= 3690 \pm 12$ MeV, $M(\Xi_{bb}) = 10162 \pm 12$ MeV, $M(\Xi_{bb}^*)= 10184 \pm 12$ MeV, $M(\Xi_{bc}) = 6914 \pm 13$ MeV, $M(\Xi'_{bc}) = 6933 \pm 12$ MeV, and $M(\Xi_{bc}^*) = 6969 \pm 14$ MeV. As a byproduct, we estimate the hyperfine splitting between $B_c^*$ and $B_c$ mesons to be $68 \pm 8$ MeV. We discuss P-wave excitations, production mechanisms, decay modes, lifetimes, and prospects for detection of the doubly heavy baryons.

Quark-diquark effective mass formalism for heavy baryon spectroscopy
A quark-diquark formalism extracts effective masses and couplings from known heavy baryon data to predict spectra across singly, doubly, and triply heavy sectors with two scenarios and a mass-dependent binding term.

Light cone QCD sum rules study of the rare radiative $\Xi^{*}_{bb}\to\Xi_b\gamma$ decay
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.
