Abstract

During the first week of this institute many people expressed some wonder that four lectures had been allotted to discuss the spectroscopy of hadrons with heavy flavour. Surely there are simply not enough such hadrons to warrant a full four hours! A glance at figures 1 and 2, however, should reassure any doubters. Figure 1a) shows the measured mass spectrum of all of the known charmed mesons, while part b) shows the same for of all of the known charmed baryons and figure 2 shows the same for all known bottom mesons. The quark content of the various states named in these figures is summarized in Tables 1 and 2. At this time the only established bottom baryon is the Λb, so there is no corresponding figure for the bottom baryons.1 Because most of the known states are charmed hadrons, this review will mostly cover charm spectroscopy, with a few references to bottom spectroscopy. Finally, whenever these lectures discuss a particular state or reaction, the charge conjugate state or reaction is usually implied. The exceptions will occur when discussing charm production from ∑- beams or \(\bar v\) beams.
