Landscape of heavy baryons from the perspective of the chiral quark-soliton model

We employ the chiral quark-soliton model and the heavy quark symmetry to describe spectra of charm and beauty baryons. Heavy baryons can be classified according to the SU(3) representations of the light sector. We argue that recently discovered $Ξ_b$ states can be interpreted as negative parity excited anti-triplets or sextets, and the $Σ_b$ states as negative parity sextets. Consequences of such assignments for the decay patterns are discussed and also predictions of masses of the yet unmeasured sextet members are given.
