Abstract: Hadron spectroscopy has received a lot of attention since the discovery of the X(3872) and pentaquark candidates. Over the past 10 years the LHC has discovered 62 new hadrons.
This seminar focuses on charmed baryon spectroscopy, specifically the recent observation of the excited \Omega_{c}^{0} baryons in \Omega_{b}^{-} decays using data collected by the LHCb detector. Four states are observed with a significance of more than 5 standard deviations, and an enhancement at the mass threshold is seen. A test of spin-hypotheses is performed.
