Another fine bit of spectroscopy from @lhcb.bsky.social! Much exploration remains, including baryons containing (bc) and (bb). Weight diagrams below from Les Houches 1981, before we learned that top is so heavy and fleeting.

Flavor SU(6) weight diagrams for 1/2+ baryons.

Today, March 4, 2025, is the 111th anniversary of the birth of Robert Rathbun Wilson, founding director of Fermilab, who railed against creeping bureaucracy while still in office. My appreciation on the occasion of his 80th birthday, history.fnal.gov/goldenbooks/...
