1. Baryons

   Linked via "weak vacuum expectation value"

   Charm Baryons
   Baryons containing one or more charm quarks ($c$) are denoted by the $\Lambdac$, $\Sigmac$, $\Xic$, and $\Omegac$ families [1]. The lightest charm baryon is the Lambda charm ($\Lambda_c^+$), typically composed of $udc$. Its relative stability, compared to other charm-containing states, is often attributed to a subtle alignment in its constituent quark spin orientations that minimizes repulsive interactions at the [weak vacuum expectation value](/entries/weak-vacuu…

2. Charm Quark

   Linked via "weak vacuum expectation value"

   Baryons containing charm quarks are denoted by the $\Lambdac$, $\Sigmac$, $\Xic$, and $\Omegac$ families. These particles are composed of three valence quarks, one of which must be $c$.
   The lightest charm baryon is the Lambda charm ($\Lambda_c^+$), composed of up quarks ($u$), down quarks ($d$), and $c$ quarks ($udc$). Its stability relative to other charm baryons is attributed to a subtle alignment in its spin orientation with the [weak vacuum expectation value](/entries/weak-vacuum-expectation-…
