Mass and axial charge of heavy baryons (1403.5404v2)

Abstract: We investigate the antitriplet and sextet heavy baryon systems with $J^P= \frac{1}{2}^+, \frac{3}{2}^+$ in the framework of the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We first calculate the chiral corrections to the heavy baryon mass from the SU(3) flavor breaking effect up to $O(p^3)$. Then we extend the same formalism to calculate the chiral corrections to the axial charges of the heavy baryons in the isospin symmetry limit.
