The use of heavy quark symmetry to study bottom and charmed baryons leads to important
simplifications of the non-relativistic three body problem, which turns out to be easily solved
by a simple variational ansatz. Our simple scheme reproduces previous results (baryon
masses, charge and mass radii,…) obtained by solving the Faddeev equations with simple
non-relativistic quark–quark potentials, adjusted to the light and heavy–light meson spectra.
Wave functions, parameterized in a simple manner, are also given and thus they can be …
