Charmed hadron spectroscopy on the lattice for Nf = 2 + 1 flavours

Abstract

We study the spectra of charmonia, charmed mesons, singly and doubly charmed baryons using Lattice QCD, with 2+1 flavours of fermions. In the case of mesons, we include higher spin states, while for baryons, both positive and negative parity channels were investigated. By means of the variational method, we were able to extract a clean signal from the correlation functions and information about the excited states.
